A political science lecturer at the University of Cape Coast, Dr. Jonathan Asante Okyere, has suggested that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is deliberately withholding the findings of the Prof. Mike Oquaye-led committee report on the party’s 2024 electoral defeat to protect certain influential figures.

Speaking to the media, Dr. Okyere claimed that the party’s decision to keep the report private and bar members from discussing its contents is aimed at shielding individuals whose actions contributed to the party’s loss.
Dr. Okyere expressed concerns that the lack of transparency is enabling powerful figures within the NPP to maintain their grip on the party, potentially hindering internal reforms and renewal efforts.
He argued that making at least parts of the report public would promote transparency and help guide future strategies. “It is troubling that the party leadership is preventing members from commenting on the report. Members should have been given the space to express their views on what went wrong in the elections,” he remarked.
The Prof. Mike Oquaye committee was tasked with investigating the reasons behind the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections and submitted its report to the party’s national leadership.
However, the findings have not yet been made public, sparking concerns about the party’s commitment to transparency and accountability. Dr. Okyere’s comments highlight the need for the NPP to prioritize transparency and openness in its internal dealings to foster a culture of accountability and reform.
