Presidential Candidate hopeful of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Boakye Agyarko, has praised the gallant women and men of the party for their relentless efforts that has brought the party thus far.
“On this day, we mark the 30th anniversary of the launching of the New Patriotic Party; a day on which all Ghanaians who hold out the hope for a prosperous, stable and peaceful Ghana must rise up and salute.”
In a statement, the former Energy Minister said the party remains unshakeable in their beliefs in upholding the tenets of liberal democracy, peace, and prosperity for all of Ghana’s citizens, adding this has been demonstrated in all the past and present practices.
“The New Patriotic Party has arisen out of the noble right of center political tradition to which it has consistently kept faith, and which gave rise to the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), United Party (UP), Progress Party (PP), and the Popular Front Party (PFP).
“On this auspicious occasion, I salute all the gallant women and men through whose unstinting efforts, from our very beginning to now, under the providence of God, have brought us to this day” he stressed.
However, Mr. Agyarko added the NPP must examine the present difficulties in the country with utmost scrutiny while they celebrate the successes and achievements.
“Thirty years in the political trenches, both internally and externally, will necessarily inflict its consequences. They have frayed us at our edges and threaten to dull our sense of self and mission. This, we must jealously guard against” he emphasized.
The 2016 Policy Adviser to then Candidate Nana Akufo-Addo says the battle ahead of the party in 2024 general elections are not for the faint-hearted nor can they be won by mere slogans, but rather calls for hard work, zeal and untiring efforts exerted by all.
“I therefore, on this occasion, call upon the entire membership, rank and file of the New Patriotic Party and its teeming supporters to rededicate ourselves to our party and all that it stands for with faith and full confidence, and to commit ourselves to its renewal in a new direction.”
