A former Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery, Kwame Awuah Darko has asserted that the Ashanti Region is no longer a stronghold for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2024 polls.

According to him, the NPP's neglect of the region under President Akufo-Addo's administration has incurred the wrath of residents, who are no longer interested in retaining them in power.

In an interview with the media in Kumasi, Mr.

Darko observed that the NPP has sidelined the very region that brought them into power.
