Get the acrimony out of the way - Akomea reveals logic behind NPP's early 2028 strategy
Nana Akomea, Communications Committee Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), revealed that the NPP's decision to begin organizing for the 2028 elections barely two years after losing power is deliberate and strategic. He said the party believes it cannot afford to delay preparations ahead of the next general election. He noted that the party concluded that it needed "all the time" available to rebuild and properly focus ahead of 2028.
Mr. Akomea explained that the early timetable was to address tensions that usually emerge during internal contests. He argued that once the flagbearer is elected early, the party can then concentrate on shaping a coherent campaign direction and policy platform. The NPP has created two categories of committees. The first are standing committees that advise the party's National Council.
There will be an election for a communications director later this year, who "would answer to the communications committee." The same structure would apply to organisers, researchers and finance officers within the party.
