Okaikwei Central lawmaker Patrick Boamah has urged the New Patriotic Party to prioritize choosing compelling parliamentary candidates to win back lost constituencies across the Greater Accra Region.
Speaking after casting his vote at the WAEC Hall during regional executive elections in Tema West, Boamah emphasized that rebuilding the party’s strength in the capital must remain the central focus for the newly elected leadership.
He lauded the Electoral Commission, security personnel, and event organizers for conducting a peaceful and structured exercise.
“You can see that the place is very orderly. And that’s the kind of organization we need for the NPP in Greater Accra. Leadership. Serious organisation towards 2028,” he said.
Highlighting the region’s massive voting bloc, Boamah stressed that success in Greater Accra is essential for the party’s broader national prospects in the 2028 general elections. He called on victorious candidates to exercise humility and unify the party by bringing defeated aspirants into the fold.
“Accra is the biggest in terms of voter population. And if NPP does well in Accra, it resonates across the country,” he said.
“I beg them, those who win, they must be magnanimous in victory. They must embrace all other contestants who partook in the elections and couldn’t succeed, that we are all one family,” he added.
To regain power in 2028, Boamah argued that the party requires enhanced coordination, strategic vision, and constructive policy alternatives that resonate with the electorate.
“We all want a stronger NPP, a well coordinated NPP, a united NPP with focused leadership, good ideas, good alternatives for the good people of Ghana to decide when we go into the polls in 2028,” he added.
Addressing recent electoral losses to the opposition National Democratic Congress, the MP acknowledged past mistakes but expressed confidence that electing the right grassroot representatives could swing the region’s political balance back in favor of the NPP.
“We need to find the right candidates for the constituencies. We need to give the constituencies the opportunity to select whoever will represent them well as parliamentary candidates and subsequently as MPs,” he said.
“If you flip it, it means the NDC also were the weaker party in Greater Accra. So it’s possible that we’ll surmount what we are seeing to become the majority party in Greater Accra,” he said.
