“Mr. Boadu will stress the importance of unity, discipline, reconciliation, and grassroots mobilisation as the Party prepares for the 2028 general elections,” the statement said.

According to the statement, Boadu believes that a united and revitalised NPP is necessary for the party to return to government and implement policies aimed at advancing Ghana’s development.
