The atmosphere at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regional secretariat in Damongo was charged with enthusiasm and renewed optimism as national chairman hopeful Paul Afoko engaged regional executives, Council of Elders and party patrons during a consultative visit to the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

What began as a routine political engagement quickly evolved into a strong message of reconciliation, unity and renewed determination to return the NPP to power in 2028.<\/p>\n

Party executives described Mr Afoko\u2019s decision to contest the national chairmanship position again as both timely and symbolic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have become a symbol of unity for the NPP considering what you have gone through,\u201d one regional executive told him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour second coming is a blessing to the party,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

For many party faithful gathered at the meeting, Mr Afoko\u2019s political journey \u2014 from serving as NPP National Chairman between 2014 and 2015, stepping away from frontline politics, and now returning with a renewed vision \u2014 reflects the party\u2019s ability to overcome internal challenges and rebuild stronger.<\/p>\n

That message resonated strongly throughout the engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am inspired to put certain things behind me,\u201d a regional executive remarked, noting that Mr Afoko\u2019s calm persistence and continued connection with the grassroots had helped shift attention from past grievances to rebuilding the party for the future.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018You<\/figure>\n

Several members described him as a model of patience, resilience and loyalty, praising his consistent engagement with party structures even during periods outside the political spotlight.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Mr Afoko outlined his \u201c3R\u201d agenda \u2014 Reunite, Rebuild and Recapture \u2014 stressing that party unity must be backed by a clear strategy for political victory.<\/p>\n

He urged the Savannah Region to take advantage of the current momentum to strengthen polling station structures, improve voter data management and intensify grassroots mobilisation well ahead of the 2028 general election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NPP\u2019s strength is that we absorb setbacks and return to fight smarter,\u201d Mr Afoko said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how we can take back government in 2028, and it starts with discipline in regions like Savannah,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

He described reclaiming political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2028 as a critical objective, adding that rebuilding confidence in party structures and ensuring that no region feels neglected would be central to that effort.<\/p>\n

As the engagement ended, handshakes and chants of support filled the hall, with members openly expressing encouragement for his campaign.<\/p>\n

The Savannah regional visit forms part of Mr Afoko\u2019s broader nationwide consultations as he seeks to consolidate support ahead of the NPP\u2019s national chairmanship race.<\/p>\n

His message throughout the tour remains consistent: rebuild the party from the grassroots and do so through unity and collective effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
