NPP is not in a good place to retain power in 2024 – Afriyie Akoto

A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto says the NPP is in danger of losing the 2024 election.

This, he explained is due to low morale among its supporters over unfulfilled promises.

“It is clear to me that morale is very low. The expectation of our activists around the country for a better life has not been realised so the NPP is not in a good place to contest to retain power next year,” he said.

He made this remark to the media in Kumasi where he is touring ahead of the November 4 delegates conference.

According to him, the issue of not realising promises in the party should be taken seriously and addressed, adding that “anybody who aspires to bear the flag of the NPP, that should be the priority.”

He contended that he is the perfect candidate to see these problems he mentioned addressed.

He therefore appealed to the delegates to make their vote count in the November 4 conference by electing him to lead the party since the welfare and prosperity of the NPP are linked to him.

“I have a very clear understanding of the problems on the ground because I have been a Member of Parliament in Kwadaso here in Kumasi so I understand the concerns expressed by activists on the ground.”

The former Agric Minister is part of four politicians who will lock horns on November 4, 2023, in the NPP presidential primary.

He placed 4th out of 10 aspirants in the Special Delegates Conference held on Saturday, August 26, 2023, surprising many political pundits and pollsters.

Over 210,000 party delegates are expected to exercise their franchise in the much-publicised November 4, 2023 presidential primary.
