The Planning Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially unveiled the theme for its 2025 Annual National Delegates Conference, slated for Saturday, July 19, at the Legon Stadium in the Greater Accra Region.
At a media briefing, the party’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, revealed that the conference would be held under the theme, “Rebuilding Together with Our Values.”
He said the theme embodies the party’s renewed commitment to revitalising its organisational structure, reinforcing its ideological identity, and strengthening internal unity in anticipation of a return to power in the 2028 general elections.
“This theme is designed to reshape and re-engineer our party, laying a solid foundation for a strong, united, and resilient NPP that is ready to win power in 2028,” Mr. Ahiagbah stated. “It is essential for all delegates to make it a priority to attend the conference. Their presence is crucial for the forward movement and development of our party.”
Mr. Ahiagbah commended the NPP’s Communication Team and the Conference Planning Committee, chaired by Joseph Osei-Owusu, for what he described as their tireless and impactful work in putting the event together. He underscored the significance of the conference as a reflection of the party’s readiness to lead Ghana again.
He said the gathering would serve as a moment of reflection and reconnection with the NPP’s foundational values. “Our party stands for the rule of law, individual liberty, and the promotion of private enterprise,” he noted. “These are the ideals that guided our founding fathers and must remain our compass.”
According to Mr. Ahiagbah, the conference will also function as a platform for engagement and strategic planning, allowing members to deepen their understanding of the party’s ideological principles. He said the NPP has always placed emphasis on protecting freedoms, enabling entrepreneurship, and building a resilient economy through innovation.
“We believe in protecting the rights of every Ghanaian and in creating an environment where private enterprises can thrive,” he added. “The NPP is committed to opportunity creation through innovation and enterprise, which in turn drives national growth. That has always been our economic model and it has proven successful.”
Addressing national concerns, Mr. Ahiagbah expressed regret over the termination of the One District, One Factory (1D1F) initiative under the current administration. He described the program as one of the landmark successes of the previous NPP government, which had created over 160,000 jobs and ignited industrial development in many communities.
“The discontinuation of the 1D1F policy by the current administration is deeply regrettable,” he said. “This initiative created real jobs and sparked industrial growth in communities across the country. Terminating such a life-changing program has left a void, and we urge the government to reconsider its decision.”
He also criticised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over its proposed 24-hour economy policy, claiming it lacked clarity and consistency. According to him, the NDC had promised an immediate rollout upon taking office, yet had failed to present a coherent plan.
“The NDC’s 24-hour economy plan remains a confusing and undefined proposal,” Mr. Ahiagbah argued. “They initially promised it would be implemented immediately upon assuming office, but till now, they have failed to offer any concrete timelines or actionable details. Ghanaians deserve better than vague political slogans.”
Mr. Ahiagbah concluded with a rallying call to Ghanaians to return the NPP to power in the 2028 elections, saying the party has a strong record of delivering development and opportunities for the people.
“The NPP is the party of progress, innovation, and opportunity. We have shown our commitment to national development, and we will do even more if given the mandate in 2028,” he affirmed. “Let us work together to rebuild this great party and restore it to power for the benefit of all Ghanaians.”
