Patrick Boamah outlines what NPP must get right ahead of 2028 elections

The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has acknowledged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) still has the scars of its defeat in the 2024 general election as it prepares for the 2028 polls.

In a video shared on his social media page on September 26, 2026, he made a strong case for the NPP to work to rebuild public confidence and trust while generating renewed interest in the NPP from the grassroots to the national executive level.

“We still have the wounds of 2024 around us and we are working very hard to generate a lot of interest in the party from the police station to the national executive level,” he said.

Speaking on the party’s preparations for the next general election, Boamah said the immediate focus should include the election of new national officers, which he believes will form part of the process of rebuilding the party.

“I believe the next phase is to elect national executives or national officers. We need to build a lot of confidence in the public and a lot of trust,” he said.

He also urged NPP members to be mindful of their conduct and public statements, arguing that individual actions could affect the image of the party’s flagbearer and parliamentary candidates.

Boamah also cautioned members against turning the party’s preparations into what he described as a “beauty contest” in which individuals seek to establish themselves as the most popular.

“People, there shouldn't be any beauty contest or whatever to see yourself as the most popular or the most this, to outshine the image of the flagbearer who leads the party's charge to win the next general election,” he said.

He further called for strategic and tactful communication from party members, particularly as the NPP works towards the 2028 election.

“There are a lot of things that we do. Our utterances, our public statements, and also be strategic and tactful with our communication. That is what I entreat members to do,” he added.
