The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not release its full internal report on the 2024 general elections, citing the presence of confidential strategies and proprietary information.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, a senior member of the party’s Constitutional and Legal Committee and Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, said in a televised interview Monday that the party’s leadership had deemed the report too sensitive for public disclosure.
“It contains trade secrets, sensitive information,” Mr. Oppong Nkrumah said during an appearance on Channel One TV. “Political parties don’t publish such internal documents — not in Ghana, and not anywhere else.”
Instead, the party has made available a summary version of the report, which it says captures the key findings and is already guiding internal reforms. “The summary that we believe captures it, we have put it out, and we’ve started the process of responding to it,” he added.
The decision comes amid growing calls from political observers and civil society groups for greater transparency following the NPP’s electoral loss in 2024. Critics have argued that the party has not adequately reckoned with the causes of its defeat.
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah, who previously served as Information Minister, rejected those claims. “It is not true that we have not done serious introspection,” he said.
The NPP, which held power from 2017 until its loss in 2024, has been under pressure to outline a clear path forward ahead of the next electoral cycle. Party leaders have said the internal review is part of broader efforts to reposition the party and regain public trust.
