Aspiring National Youth Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vera Oye Bram-Larbi, has stated that the party did not lose the 2024 general election.
According to her, the NPP’s defeat was largely due to low voter turnout among party members, particularly the youth, during the electoral process.
Miss Bram-Larbi explained that in the lead-up to the 2024 polls, internal misunderstandings and dissatisfaction with the national leadership caused many loyalists, especially the youth, to abstain from voting, ultimately costing the party the ability to retain power.
She argued that had the party been better organized and more attentive to the concerns of its grassroots base, the NPP would not have ceded governance to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The aspiring National Youth Organizer further claimed that the NDC’s vote tally in 2024 did not surpass its 2020 performance, but rather saw a significant decline.
This scenario, Mrs. Bram-Larbi, said, shows that many Ghanaians, especially NPP members, did not participate in the 2024 electoral exercise due to apathy, contributing to the NDC’s landslide victory.
She made these remarks in an interview with Kontihen Kofi Oboh at the Okere Constituency Youth Wing’s Arise and Build Conference, themed “Energizing the Base for Victory 2028.”
She described the conference as timely and necessary, emphasizing its importance in mobilizing and reorganizing the NPP youth toward reclaiming power in the 2028 elections.
