The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has extended hearty congratulations to its “sister party,” the United States Republican Party, following Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. President.
In an official statement, the NPP praised Trump and his Vice President-elect, J.D. Vance, on their electoral victory, calling it an “emphatic endorsement” of the Republican Party’s ideals by the American people.
The NPP highlighted the peaceful and transparent nature of the U.S. elections, commending the United States for yet again demonstrating a resilient democratic process. With Ghana’s general election slated for December 7, 2024, the NPP expressed hope that Ghanaians would draw valuable lessons from the U.S. example as they approach their own democratic exercise.
As fellow members of the International Democrat Union, the NPP and the Republican Party share a center-right political orientation, symbolized by their common “elephant” logo. This shared identity, the NPP noted, is a testament to their mutual ideologies, including policies that prioritize economic growth and national security.
Emphasizing the close ties between the two parties, the NPP expressed optimism that Ghana’s “elephant party” would replicate the Republican victory in December.
The NPP statement reflected the party’s alignment with Trump and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s “bold solutions” aimed at securing national prosperity. The NPP’s message echoed a sentiment of shared resilience, asserting that “the ELEPHANT is the WINNING SYMBOL” and that victory is within reach, “by the grace of God.”
As Donald Trump declared victory at his Florida headquarters, he celebrated a “new golden age for America.” This success came after Republican wins in key swing states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, with networks like CBS projecting additional victories in states including Nevada and Wisconsin.
Notably, Trump was joined at his campaign headquarters by mega-donor Elon Musk, whose support boosted morale among Republicans as the results rolled in. This narrow but significant win over Kamala Harris has brought the Republican Party back to the White House, reinforcing the NPP’s belief in the global resurgence of center-right principles.
