These figures are celebrated for their roles in advocating for independence, democracy, and development in Ghana.<br /><br />The NPP values are deeply rooted in the belief that individual freedom and responsibility are the bedrock of a prosperous society. It champions the cause of democratic governance, emphasizing the importance of free elections, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights.

It believes that such an approach fosters entrepreneurship, creates jobs, and leads to a more dynamic and competitive economy.<br /><br />Education and healthcare are also central to the NPP's vision for Ghana. The party sees these sectors as critical to building human capital and ensuring that all Ghanaians can contribute to and benefit from the country's growth. It supports policies aimed at improving access to quality education and healthcare services, recognizing these as fundamental rights that enable individuals to lead productive and fulfilling lives.<br /><br />The NPP's commitment to good governance extends to issues of transparency and accountability.
