The aftermath of Ghana's 2024 General Election continues to stir deep reflections within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as prominent voices seek to unravel the reasons behind their stinging loss.
Subin MP Eugene Boakye Antwi has come forward with a pointed critique, asserting that the party's decision to retain Ken Ofori-Atta as Finance Minister until February 2024 played a critical role in alienating voters and contributing to their electoral defeat.
In an interview on Good Morning Ghana with Randy Abbey, Antwi delivered a candid assessment of the political fallout, arguing that the NPP failed to heed the cries of the very electorate that had once placed its trust in them. "Keeping Ken Ofori-Atta at the post until February 2024 meant that we were not listening to the very people who voted for us, and therefore, we didn't deserve their vote in 2024," he declared.
His critique comes against the backdrop of a prolonged economic crisis that had dominated public discourse in the years leading up to the election.
