  • Awentami Paul Afoko, a candidate for NPP national chairman, met with party executives in Ghana's Savannah Region to discuss unity and strategy.
  • Regional executives view Afoko as a symbol of unity, citing his past experiences and resilience.
  • Afoko outlined his "3R" agenda – Reunite, Rebuild, Recapture – emphasizing the need for disciplined mobilization to regain power in 2028.

In Damongo, the Savannah Region's capital, Awentami Paul Afoko, a hopeful for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) national chairmanship, engaged with regional executives, the Council of Elders, and party patrons. The meeting transcended routine political consultations, evolving into a session focused on reconciliation and recommitment toward securing the NPP's return to power in 2028.

You have become a symbol of unity for the NPP considering what you have gone through.

— Raphael Mahama AkatiAddressing Awentami Paul Afoko, highlighting his role in unifying the party.

Regional executives emphasized Afoko's significance, with Savannah Regional Youth Organizer Raphael Mahama Akati stating, "You have become a symbol of unity for the NPP considering what you have gone through." Many attendees drew inspiration from Afoko's journey, including his tenure as National Chairman from 2014 to 2015, his subsequent withdrawal from frontline politics, and his current structured campaign. They see his path as evidence of the party's capacity to overcome internal challenges and emerge stronger.

Afoko presented his "3R" agenda: Reunite, Rebuild, Recapture. He stressed that unity alone is insufficient without a clear plan for achieving political power. He urged the Savannah Region to fortify its polling station structures, enhance voter data management, and commence mobilization efforts immediately, rather than waiting until the election year.

The NPP’s strength is that we absorb setbacks and return to fight smarter.

"The NPP’s strength is that we absorb setbacks and return to fight smarter," Afoko declared. "That’s how we can take back government in 2028, and it starts with discipline in regions like Savannah." He characterized the 2028 mission as non-negotiable, aiming to reclaim power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), restore confidence in party structures, and ensure no region feels marginalized. Afoko's visit to Damongo is part of his broader tour of regional engagements as he seeks to consolidate support for his chairmanship bid.
