NPP National Organizer, Sammi Awuku has assured the party members and supporters that the NPP will bounce back stronger in 2024.
According to him, the NPP leadership is working assiduously to ensure they don't lose Parliamentary seats in the next elections.
The party lost 32 seats this year as compared to the 2016 elections where they gained more Parliamentary seats.
In 2016, the party grabbed 169 seats whereas the opposition NDC attained 106 seats but in 2020, the two parties have had a tie in Parliament with each recording 137 seats.
The NPP has been vehemently criticized over their performance in this year's Parliamentary elections.
Discussing the issue on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Sammi Awuku encouraged the party faithfuls not to lose hope as the leadership won't let them down, come 2024.
"Even though we lost seat, we went into the election with a target to win more seats but we lost seats. It doesn't mean the NPP will give up. The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. We assure our supporters, we will recapture the lost grounds in the 2024."
He also advised the party members and supporters to be civil in their utterances and not provoke hate speech among them.
"The NPP, we have a character. We've done it before. We were in minority in post-2008; we were in minority in 2012. We became majority party and the biggest party in 2016 and in 2020, we're still the biggest political party but we have lost some seats. That does not make us the opposition in Ghana, so let's have hope. Where we went wrong, let the discourse be civil.
"In fact, we have been insulted. Officers of the party, we have been bombarded from constituency, from Region, from national; it's fine. The only way to discourage hate speech is to promote more speech [reference - Barack Obama]," he stated.

Bet me, if you continue to do things same way 2024 will be worse, you soon forgot the ordinary man and woman in the street wasted precious time to line up to vote for your life to change for the better. Like the vulture you soon forgot the will be another rain and you will need a nest, time soon came for same people you ignored after Winning power to make a nest for you, for love of party they reluctantly made the nest but with a lot of leakages. Am a strong NPP but voted for Akuffo Addo reluctantly, why because his appointees failed him well well, if he really had his ears on the ground more than half wouldn't have lasted four years, arrogance, selfishness, greed, disrespect, empty pride took the better part of them, party supporters kept mute and watched for them to do as they wish, on 7 December,2020 we also voted as we wish,simple as that. We stay with MMDCE's , MP's and ministers in the same community, we knew who they were before 2017, after getting appointments they started behaving as if they just arrived from the moon, some were renting accommodation in their own towns and villages until the party won, party supporters were contributing to donate at funerals on their behalf because these appointees were 'nothing men'. I pity the NPP of today, if it were possible Kufuor should have come back. The NPP he left behind is not the NPP we see now, too too sad
