The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, porpularly known as NAPO, has reacted to the party’s defeat in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The NPP suffered a significant loss, with a margin of 1,671,093 votes to the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). The NDC’s candidate, John Dramani Mahama, was declared President-elect on Sunday, 8 December, securing 6,328,397 votes (56.55%) compared to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s 4,657,304 votes (41.61%).

In a statement dated 11 December 2024, Dr Prempeh expressed gratitude to the NPP’s flagbearer for the opportunity to serve as his running mate.
I believe in the NPP’s values, ideals and traditions. As we go into a period of honest introspection and reflection on this electoral verdict, I am confident that we will emerge stronger and bounce back to win the trust, confidence, support and affection of Ghanaians.
Meanwhile, Mahamudu Bawumia has urged members of the party to avoid blame games and focus on securing victory in the 2028 general elections.
