For a party that suffered one of its heaviest electoral defeats in recent memory, the New Patriotic Party is in no mood for eulogies. That, at least, is the message from Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, who pushed back firmly against narratives of NPP collapse during an appearance on TV3 with Alfred Ocansey on Friday.
Aboagye was characteristically direct in his rebuttal of suggestions that the NPP is unravelling in the aftermath of the 2024 elections. For him, the party’s current difficulties are neither unique nor fatal — they are the predictable aftermath of losing power, a cycle every serious political organisation must weather.
“We have accepted our fate and we are going through our healing process. We have rebuilt before and we will rebuild again,” he said, framing the party’s internal recalibration not as crisis, but as a necessary and well-trodden path back to relevance.
His argument rested on a simple but pointed historical observation: political parties in Ghana’s Fourth Republic do not collapse under pressure — they adapt. The NPP, he insisted, is doing exactly that.

Perhaps the most combative strand of Aboagye’s argument was his decision to turn the spotlight on the NPP’s chief rivals. Rather than defend the NPP’s record alone, he invited Ghanaians to measure it against the NDC’s own storied history of internal strife.
“No political party in Ghana since 1992 has suffered fractures and disintegration more than the NDC,” he claimed, pointing to the opposition party’s well-documented history of breakaway factions, internal power struggles, and public disagreements among its own figures across the decades.
The logic was deliberate and rhetorically sharp: if the NDC — with all its documented fractures — survived and returned to power, then the NPP’s current difficulties represent nothing more than a chapter, not a conclusion.
“If the NDC did not die after all those fractures, then the NPP will not die,” Aboagye said flatly.
Aboagye also had a pointed message for NDC members who have been vocal about the NPP’s post-election turbulence — urging them to direct that same critical energy toward their own internal tensions before casting judgement elsewhere.
“Allow every party to go through its phase. Political parties go through dynamism. You rebuild and come back,” he said, signalling that the NPP has no intention of being defined by its current moment of difficulty.
With the party still in the early stages of reorganising its structures and plotting its return, Aboagye’s tone was that of a man who believes the NPP’s story is far from over — and that those writing its obituary may yet be proven wrong.
