The Western Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will work extra hard to recapture all the seats it lost to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the last general election as well as consolidate its hold in the 2028 general election.
An aspiring Regional Secretary of the party, Kwasi Bonzoh, who made this known, stated that grassroots mobilisation and strengthening relationships with voters could help the party achieve its aims.
Speaking to journalists in an interview after submitting his forms to the NPP Regional Office in Takoradi to contest the Regional Secretary position in the party’s upcoming regional executives’ elections, Mr. Bonzoh expressed optimism that the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will win the 2028 presidential election.
“But our president will need majority members in Parliament to enable his government implement all its policies,” he pointed out.
He stressed that all the seats in the region are winnable, and added that if the NDC was able to win Tarkwa-Nsuaem and Kwesimintsim in the last parliamentary elections then the NPP can win Amenfi West and East in 2028.
“It is regrettable that out of the 17 seats in the region, the NPP has only two. But I promise you we will recapture Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Sekondi, Kwesimintsim, Jomoro, Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira and all constituencies we have won before,” he stated.
Mr. Bonzoh noted that his focus as the next Western Regional Secretary of the NPP is on restoring party unity and strengthening the grassroots to improve the party’s parliamentary fortunes.
He said he has served the party well as a former District Chief Executive for Ellembelle and a parliamentary candidate of the party in the area for 16 years.
He, therefore, appealed to the delegates to vote massively for him as the next Regional Secretary, to help mobilise the grassroots for massive victory for NPP in the next general election.
“I am a grassroots person. So it will not be difficult at all for me to convince them with the NPP’s policies to vote massively for the party in 2028,” he stressed.
He, however, mentioned that the contest is an internal one and expected his supporters and that of his other competitors to conduct peaceful campaigns devoid of insults.
“This is because after the regional executives’ elections, we need to come together to work hard to win massively, because Ghanaians are fed up with the lies and deceit of the NDC,” he added.
