Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
2024 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed optimism that the recommendations outlined in the Mike Oquaye report will usher in much-needed reforms within the party.
Speaking at the NPP Headquarters in Accra on April 23, 2025, Dr Bawumia described the report as a blueprint for strengthening the party’s internal democracy and positioning it for future electoral victories.
“This report is not just a document; it is a call to action. The recommendations contained in it are timely and necessary for the rejuvenation of our great party,” he stated.
He further emphasised that the findings were the result of wide consultations with party grassroots, executives, and stakeholders.
The report proposes enhanced transparency in internal elections, improved communication structures, and stronger youth engagement.
Dr Bawumia emphasised that implementing these reforms is crucial for retaining Ghanaians’ confidence and inspiring a new generation of patriots.
According to Dr Bawumia, the party’s leadership will prioritise accountability and inclusiveness in the next phase of the NPP’s growth.
“If we are to retain the confidence of Ghanaians and inspire a new generation of patriots, then we must be bold in implementing these reforms,” he indicated.
He also disclosed that the party’s Thank You Tour, scheduled to begin soon, will provide an opportunity for the party to connect with supporters and communicate its renewed vision.
Dr Bawumia called on party members to embrace the spirit of renewal, stand together united by their values, and move forward as one NPP – stronger and more determined than ever before.
