Nana Yaw Boadu, a Presidential Staffer and a key member of Hon. Evans Opoku Bobie’s campaign team, has issued a strong statement following the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) recent victory in the Asunafo North Constituency.
Speaking on Rejoice Amansan Ntie morning show, he thanked the constituents for participating in the electoral process and promised that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will reclaim the seat in the next election.The NDC’s victory in Asunafo North marks a historic moment, as they managed to snatch the seat after 24 years of NPP dominance.
However, Nana Yaw Boadu was quick to assure supporters that this victory would be short-lived, stating that the NPP is giving the NDC just one term to serve in the constituency.
Nana Yaw Boadu acknowledged that the NPP must take a critical look at the reasons for their unexpected defeat. He identified the following factors as major contributors:
Voter Apathy: Many NPP supporters did not turn out to vote.
Internal Challenges: Issues such as the reshuffling of government appointees weakened the party’s local presence.
Money Influence: The use of money in the NPP parliamentary primaries created divisions within the party.
Despite the loss, Nana Yaw Boadu urged party members to remain hopeful and united.
He emphasized the need to rebuild the NPP, strengthen its structures, and prevent internal conflicts that could harm the party’s prospects.He reassured supporters that the NPP is already working on strategies to regain the Asunafo North seat in 2028. “The NDC should be happy for now, but they should know the NPP will reclaim the seat and continue our legacy of development in the constituency,” he stated confidently.
As the dust settles on the election, Nana Yaw Boadu’s comments reflect the NPP’s determination to bounce back. The party’s leadership is expected to engage its members, analyze the election results, and address the challenges that led to the loss.
