The Party Is Hiding the Truth

Dr. Jonathan Asante Okyere, a political science lecturer at the University of Cape Coast, has raised concerns over the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) decision to withhold the findings of the Prof. Mike Oquaye-led committee report regarding the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections as reported by Ghana Web.

Okyere believes this move is aimed at shielding key figures within the party from accountability.

In an interview with Accra 100.5 FM on April 17, 2025, Okyere suggested that the NPP’s leadership is deliberately keeping the report under wraps to protect influential individuals who may have played a role in the party’s electoral loss.

He argued that while the party has the right to control its internal matters, transparency is crucial for growth and future success.

“It is troubling that the party leadership is preventing members from commenting on the report,” Okyere remarked, emphasizing that the NPP should allow open discussion to learn from their mistakes.

He pointed out that withholding the report and barring commentary could hinder any efforts at internal reform and renewal within the party.

The committee, led by Prof. Oquaye, was tasked with analyzing the reasons behind the NPP’s poor showing in the December 7, 2024 general elections.

Despite submitting their findings to the national leadership earlier this week, the party has yet to release the report to the public.

Okyere expressed concern that this lack of transparency could allow certain influential figures to maintain their positions within the party, ultimately stalling any real changes needed for future elections.
