Former Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has officially announced her intention to contest for the position of General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), promising to lead a renewed drive toward unity and victory in the 2028 general elections.
Announcing a heartfelt message released on her birthday, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful urged all NPP members to come together and rebuild trust in the party after what she described as a difficult period.
She acknowledged that the ruling NPP had endured internal challenges that left members “bruised” and “battered,” but expressed strong optimism about the party’s ability to bounce back.
“Our situation is but a necessary phase of self-introspection and diagnosis towards our journey of re-organisation,” she stated.
The former Ablekuma West MP aimed at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, describing it as “an accident-of-a-government” that “lied its way into power.”
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful stressed that the NPP must rebuild its structures from the polling station level to the national front if it hopes to regain public confidence and reclaim power in 2028.
“This caretaker NDC government is there not because they are preferred, they are there because they lied their way into government amidst lofty promises and caused belief in us to wane. But we will revive it,” she said.
Positioning herself as a leader ready for the task, Ursula described herself as a “fighter” who has been “nurtured, proven, and prepared” to guide the party’s administration through renewal and victory.
“I come to you in all humility, to ask you, dear patriots, to join me on this rescue mission as your next General Secretary,” she declared.
She called on NPP supporters in Ghana and abroad to unite under one vision — to reorganise, rebuild, and restore the party’s image as the true party of development and progress.
“With unity and God on our side, as well as the collective will of the Ghanaian people, we shall overcome,” she concluded.
