Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has conveyed a strong belief in the party’s ability to secure victory in the forthcoming 2024 general elections.
During an interview on JoyNews’ The Probe, Mr. Mohammed underscored the positive outcomes observed in the NPP primaries within orphan constituencies, interpreting them as indicative of the party’s preparedness to maintain its political dominance.
Expressing confidence in obtaining a majority of seats in the 2024 elections, he attributed this optimism to the calibre of candidates strategically chosen in constituencies without current NPP representation.
Mr Mohammed went on to laud the delegates for their pivotal role in the candidate selection process, highlighting the demonstrated competence and strong rapport with the electorate as key criteria.
Acknowledging the internal nature of the contest, he clarified that in such scenarios, there are no losers but rather a purposeful selection process.
The Deputy General Secretary’s remarks underscore the party’s unity and confidence in the candidates chosen to represent the NPP in the upcoming elections.
“There was no winner and there was no loser at the end of the polls because this is an internal contest. In an internal contest, there’s no loser; there’s a selection,” Mohammed explained.
Highlighting the imperative of internal harmony, Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, underscored the importance of unity within the party.
He urged all contestants to unite and support the selected candidates collaboratively post-competition.
Mr. Mohammed emphasised the pivotal role of national, regional, and constituency officers in fostering inclusivity and cohesion within the party. He stressed the shared responsibility of party leaders at various levels to promote a sense of togetherness.
Recognising the forthcoming elections as a critical opportunity, Mr. Mohammed articulated the party’s ambition to break the eight-year cycle and secure victory in the political landscape. His remarks highlight the significance of solidarity and collective effort within the NPP to achieve success in the upcoming political contest.
“This is our second attempt at breaking the eight, and this time around, we’re going to make it. We’re very sure of winning political power, but we need a majority in the House of Parliament, he asserted.
On Saturday, 321 aspirants vied for a slot in 111 constituencies described as ‘orphan’ because the incumbent MPs are not the reps of the NPP.
Delegates were given the mandate to select individuals who would contest the 2024 parliamentary election on the ticket of the party.
