Former Minister of Communication, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has
declared her intention to contest for the position of General Secretary
of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a post on Facebook, she appealed to party members for their
support, saying, “I come to you in all humility, to ask you, dear
patriots, to join me on this rescue mission as your next General
Secretary.”
She noted that with the 2028 general election fast approaching, the NPP
must reposition itself to regain the trust of Ghanaians and effectively
represent the change the country needs.
“December 2028 is soon upon us, and by which time the good people of
Ghana and us all, as it is today, will remain in dire need for change.
That is why we need to re-shape, re-organise, and put ourselves in a
good place to effectively represent the desired change and restore the
belief of Ghanaians in us as the institutors of growth and development,”
she said.
Mrs Owusu-Ekuful emphasised that the NPP remains a united family with
a shared vision of reclaiming power and advancing national progress.
“Across the country and the diaspora, the NPP family comes together
as one big family, bound together in unison by the cohesive purpose
hinged on an innate desire to re-capture power and do better for
ourselves and for mother Ghana. This remains the ultimate resolve of the
party. This remains the ultimate resolve of Ghanaians. It remains the
ultimate resolve of Ursula Owusu-Ekuful,” she added.
Justin Kodua Frimpong is the incumbent General Secretary of the NPP.
It is not clear as of now if he will seek re-election. But last week, a
former Member of Parliament for Subin in the Ashanti Region, Eugene
Boakye Antwi declared his interest to contest the General Secretary
position.
The NPP for now is concentrating on the presidential primary
scheduled for January 31, 2026 after which, it will start re-organising
elected positions from polling stations through constituencies, regional
and national.
In the post to announce her intention to contest for the general secretary position of the New Patriotic Party, the politician who is also a lawyer wrote;
I come to you on this day of my birth with genuine regards.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since our stormy face-off with ourselves and our base.
We came out bruised, our individual and collective egos battered. We lie not in a good place. However, as our great tradition had demonstrated over the years, influenced by the then burgeoning spirit of resilience and purpose that heralded our birth in Saltpond, we will thrive.
Scathed, we refuse to be burnt, and in the unlikely circumstance that we set ourselves in a blazing inferno, enduring the ultimate sacrifice for the New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom), we will rise. It will shape us, mould us, and like the Phoenix, we will rise and be ready.
Our situation is but a necessary phase of self-introspection and diagnosis towards our journey of re-organisation.
This caretaker NDC government is there not just because they are preferred, they are there because they lied their way into government, amidst lofty promises, and caused belief in us to wane. But we will revive it.
From the polling stations, through to the electoral areas, constituencies, and regions to the top, we will restore confidence in our party and unity amongst ourselves. That is the only dose we need to booth out this accident-of-a-government.
On this day of my birth, Patriots, I come before you, the fighter you have always known. Nurtured, proven, and prepared, over the years, to join you on this collective journey to rescue our beloved country from this clueless, insensitive, and this glaringly incompetent government.
I come to you in all humility, to ask you, dear patriots, to join me on this rescue mission as your next General Secretary.
December 2028 is soon upon us, and by which time the good people of Ghana and us all, as it is today, will remain in dire need for change. That is why we need to re-shape, re-organise, and put ourselves in a good place to effectively represent the desired change and restore the belief of Ghanaians in us as the institutors of growth and development.
Across the country and the diaspora, the NPP family comes together as one big family, bound together in unison by the cohesive purpose hinged on an innate desire to re-capture power and do better for ourselves and for mother Ghana.
This remains the ultimate resolve of the party. This remains the ultimate resolve of Ghanaians. It remains the ultimate resolve of Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
Patriots, join me, let us commit to the struggle, for I know with unity and God on our side, as well as the collective will of the Ghanaian people, we shall overcome.
