The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what it calls a much-needed “reset” in the party’s direction and values, describing it as a positive step toward building national consensus and development.
Speaking at the NPP National Delegates Conference held at the University of Ghana Stadium in Accra on Saturday, July 19, 2025, the NDC’s Director of Logistics and Protocol, Ludwig Hlodze, emphasized the importance of political renewal in Ghana’s evolving democratic landscape.
“The country Ghana is going through a reset process. It is very important that we as political parties reset our ideas, policies, and programmes,” Hlodze stated.
He praised the NPP for taking steps to reposition itself and stressed the importance of working together to support national development.
“That is why we are happy that the biggest opposition party in our country is doing exactly that—to reset and play their role with constructive criticism to support the nation builder, John Mahama, to rebuild the Ghana we all want,” he added.
He urged the NPP to maintain internal cohesion and strengthen its leadership. “We hope, after your deliberation at this conference, you will come out a stronger opposition party in your reconstruction effort. Unity is key. Ghana needs a stronger opposition party to enhance our democracy.”
He also appealed to the NPP to embrace its elder statesmen. “We hope that after this conference, your party will appreciate the importance of having two surviving former presidents among you and continuously adequately console them to help build your party strong. Don’t alienate them outside the box. They need you. You need them.”
“We hope that after this conference, you leave here united and not divided," he added.
