The New Patriotic Party (NPP) of Ghana has extended congratulations to the Republican Party and President-Elect Donald Trump on his win in the 2024 United States presidential election. Recognizing this achievement as a milestone for American democracy, the NPP praised the U.S. for its commitment to a peaceful transfer of power.
With a long-standing association with the Republican Party, the NPP commended American voters for supporting the Republican vision and principles. This outcome, the NPP noted, reflects the shared values between the two center-right parties, which are both represented by the symbol of the elephant and are members of the International Democrat Union (IDU), a global coalition of center-right political organizations.
As Ghana approaches its own elections on December 7, 2024, the NPP is inspired by the democratic process exemplified in the United States. The party hopes this global trend in favor of center-right governance will resonate with Ghanaian voters, potentially leading to victory for the “elephant party.”
In a statement, NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong expressed optimism, noting the shared vision of President-Elect Trump and Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, both of whom advocate bold solutions for their respective nations’ challenges.
The NPP conveyed its best wishes to the incoming U.S. administration and emphasized its intention to strengthen the ties between Ghana and the United States. By deepening cooperation between the NPP and the Republican Party, the NPP envisions a mutually beneficial relationship that will support shared goals and values on the international stage.
