Dr.
Mathew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, delivered a spirited address in Parliament on December 16, calling out the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their celebrations following the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) electoral defeat.
NAPO firmly contested the narrative that the election results represented a wholesale rejection of the NPP's policies, asserting that much of the work done during the administration had been agreed upon with bipartisan consensus. "It is unfair and entirely inaccurate to suggest that the NPP has been wholly rejected," he stated, his tone steady yet assertive. "The decisions we made and the legislation we pursued were rooted in the desire to advance this country, and the majority of these were met with consensus from both sides of this house." The session came just days after John Dramani Mahama, the president-elect, and his NDC camp celebrated a decisive victory in the general elections.
For many in the opposition, the outcome symbolized a repudiation of the NPP's agenda.
