Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is still ruing the lost opportunity to be Ghana's next President.
Mahama is President-elect after beating Bawumia in the just ended 2024 election.
Speaking to party executives from the Klottey Korle constituency at his residence after the defeat, the Vice President believes the NPP inadvertently handed power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) rather than the opposition party outperforming their 2020 results.
He has however urged members of the party not to indulge in blame games but unite and be encouraged for the future.
“We couldn’t meet our expectations that is why we conceded. That doesn’t mean it is over. We lost a battle, not the war. I want to encourage you all. In this election, we were the ones that gave the victory to NDC. They didn’t win because their numbers didn’t change from 2020.
“Ours reduced by 40 percent. I want you all to understand that united we stand, but divided we fall. I have seen many people in pain, but I have an abiding belief in God. His ways are not our ways.
“Blame games will destroy us. Let us stand together. Stop the blame games. Let’s look at the future. Let’s concentrate on strengthening the party. It is not about individual ambition. I know we will come out successful.”
He further thanked the members for their support and asked them to stay put for the task ahead.
