In the aftermath of his parliamentary election loss, Andy Appiah-Kubi, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has opened up about the internal struggles and external challenges that contributed to his defeat.
He shared a candid reflection on the events that led to the loss, as well as the tensions within his own party that made his position increasingly difficult, in an interview with Joy News.
Appiah-Kubi confirmed reports about his involvement in efforts to persuade President Nana Akufo-Addo to relieve Ken Ofori-Atta of his duties as Finance Minister during a period of economic strain. "I was among those who spoke up, urging the president to act decisively for the sake of the country," he said, explaining the party's growing concern over the state of the economy.
The decision to challenge a key figure in the government wasn't easy, and Appiah-Kubi's role in the matter didn't go unnoticed within the NPP.
