The Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) UK Swindon Chapter, Roberta Baaba Pobee, has called for a renewed focus on unity as the party sets its sights on the 2028 general elections.

She emphasized that a strong, united, and inclusive party structure is essential for securing victory and advancing the NPP’s vision for national development.

Speaking on the importance of early preparations, Pobee urged party members to start laying the groundwork now, even as they navigate upcoming electoral milestones.

She stressed that the NPP’s commitment to a prosperous Ghana could only be realized through internal cohesion and a shared dedication to its core principles.

“The 2028 elections may seem far off, but the work begins now,” Pobee stated. “We must not wait until the final hour to address issues of disunity and lack of coordination. A united party is a winning party, and the NPP has a duty to show Ghanaians that we are prepared, organized, and focused on delivering development for all.”

Reflecting on the party’s recent electoral challenges, Pobee acknowledged the difficulties in maintaining unity in a competitive political landscape.

She emphasized the need to embrace diversity within the party while fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.

“Unity doesn’t mean we all have to agree on everything, but it means we must prioritize the collective good of the party over individual ambitions. Let us engage in constructive dialogue, address grievances promptly, and ensure that every member feels heard and valued,” she noted.

Pobee highlighted the critical role of the NPP diaspora in shaping the party’s future, noting that members abroad, particularly those in the UK, bring valuable skills, resources, and perspectives that can enhance the party’s growth and electoral strategy.

She also stressed the importance of inclusivity in party activities, calling for greater engagement with youth, women, and underrepresented groups.

According to her, grassroots mobilization and active participation in decision-making processes are crucial to strengthening the party.

“We must create a party where everyone, regardless of their background, feels they have a role to play. The energy of the youth, the wisdom of our elders, and the dedication of our women are all essential to our success,” she said.

Outlining her vision for a stronger NPP, Pobee proposed a roadmap that includes capacity-building initiatives, improved internal communication, and enhanced collaboration between the party’s national, regional, constituency, grassroots, international branches, and chapters.

While acknowledging the immediate challenges facing the party, she expressed optimism about the NPP’s prospects in the 2028 elections.

She urged members to remain focused on the long-term vision and to resist distractions that could undermine their collective progress.

“Our mission goes beyond winning elections—it’s about building a better Ghana for generations to come. The 2028 elections are another opportunity for us to demonstrate the transformative power of the NPP. But to get there, we must start with a united, disciplined, and forward-thinking party today,” she concluded.

Pobee’s call for unity underscores the NPP’s need to consolidate its internal structures as it prepares for future electoral contests.

Her message resonates with party members both at home and abroad, as they work towards a common goal of securing victory in 2028 and advancing national development.
