Aspiring General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, says his decision to contest the party’s top administrative position stems from a deep conviction to rebuild, reform, and reignite the NPP into a more effective, disciplined, and results-driven political force.

Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Tuesday, October 14, Mr. Boakye Antwi stated that the NPP’s internal structures have become “weak and disconnected”, a situation he believes contributed significantly to the party’s disappointing performance in the 2024 general elections.

“I am contesting for the General Secretary position because I want to strengthen our party from the ground up. The NPP must operate efficiently at every level and remain a credible platform that delivers real results for Ghanaians,” he emphasized.

The former legislator, who also served as Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, said the time has come for the party to return to its founding values of discipline, loyalty, and accountability, while rebuilding trust among the grassroots.

“Our structures let us down in 2024. The results were not what a governing party of our stature should produce. We must fix that — and that’s why I’m offering myself to serve,” he added.

Mr. Boakye Antwi’s declaration adds momentum to the growing anticipation ahead of the NPP’s upcoming national executive elections, where party members are calling for leadership renewal to restore confidence and unity ahead of 2028.
