General Secretary aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Eugene Boakye Antwi, has admitted that the party’s loss in the 2024 general election stemmed from growing dissatisfaction among its grassroots.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Thursday, September 11, the former Subin MP said many loyalists felt alienated from the party’s leadership.
“I think we lost because too many of our own people felt that we had drifted away from them,” he noted. “When your base is crying for jobs and clamouring for humility, sometimes it appeared that we weren’t listening. That created a whole lot of problems for the government as well as the party.”
He added that while supporters expected quick solutions once the NPP was in government, the realities of governance were different.
“Because when a party is in government, the expectation is such that you think that by a stroke of a pen, or a mere phone call, things should happen. But knowingly, things don’t happen like that,” he explained.
