The National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has urged the teeming supporters of the party and Ghanaians to jubilate after the swearing-in of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo but should not be oblivious of the ‘huge' task ahead.
Mr. Awuku said the task ahead would be working hard to regain the parliamentary seats lost in the December 7 elections so that the NPP can remain the Majority in Parliament.
The NPP National Executive Committee made these sentiments known in an interview with Onua TV’s 100 Degrees hosted by Kwame Tutu on Monday, December 28.
“We should be happy about the majority in Parliament and the winning of the presidential slot but we should go back and work to regain the lost seats. We should be happy after the swearing-in of Nana Addo.”
Mr. Awuku said “we shall regain all our lost seats because going into the elections, we knew we were going to face a lot of challenges. Some, we were able to solve, some, there was nothing we could do but the good news is that we did not go home with Minority”.
Investigations
He urged the party faithful to be calm because the party is investigating what led to the loss of some seats in the elections.
“I can assure millions of NPP supporters we are launching investigations into why we lost.”
He said “we expected to have won with so many votes. We set a target for ourselves but we all know the year has been a challenge globally and Ghana was not an Island”.
Mr. Awuku explained that “we lost some and we gained some”.

Sammy Awuku, hear this, NPP supporters are not happy having worked hard for the party to win the 2016 elections only to be neglected afterwards, some of the appointees especially the young ones soon forgot who and what they were before 2017 and started misbehaving. Some became too arrogant and didn't even want to see the ordinary party supporter near them. Then came 2020 and the results are what we see now, if you don't know those who will be by you in your times of need then you don't deserve to called a normal human being, this is the bane of the current NPP, if those in power fail to learn from the 2020 bitter experience then Akuffo Addo may leave a low morale NPP behind. Kufuor was very good at moving government and party together, Akuffo Addo lacks that skill. If we find ourselves in one party all struggling and the party wins we expect that if the president and his appointees lives changes for the better so must the party supporters if not all also change for the better, free SHS and free water are enjoyed by both NPP and NDC persons, however one didn't want you to be president,the other wants you to be so why should the benefits be the same, if your father is alive and you go to sleep on a hungry stomach like an orphan, then if your father loses power you have lost nothing after all his presence or absence are all the same thus the 2020 and experience. You don't need any committee to investigate anything, the answers are right in front of the appointees. The should ask themselves how many ordinary party supporters they have helped with their positions, it's that simple. NPP is even lucky to have won, the behavior of the appointees doesn't merit the votes the party got in the elections.
