Former Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has recalled an unheeded warning from the Ashanti overlord, which was a contributory factor to the New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s abysmal showing in the 2024 elections.
He told Nhyira FM that a significant warning had come from Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in 2017 when he cautioned President Akufo-Addo that hunger and anger had led to the downfall of the Mahama government in 2016.
He warned that if the same conditions prevailed under Akufo-Addo, history would repeat itself.
Reflecting on the party's defeat, the former Suame MP noted that unlike previous elections, no massive crowds were lining the streets to welcome Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, signaling a growing disconnection between the party and the electorate.
