The chairman of the fact-finding committee that researched the defeat of the New Patriotic Party in the 2024 general elections in the Ashanti Region, , has stated that their findings showed that there was a caution issued by the Asantehene, , to President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2017.
According to the former Majority Leader in Parliament and former Member of Parliament for Suame, economic conditions, which led to the defeat of President John Dramani Mahama in 2016, were also a key factor in the defeat of the NPP in 2024, just as predicted by the Asantehene. "In 2017, when Nana Addo was voted in as president, he came to introduce himself to Otumfuo, and when he came, Otumfuo on that day said something.
He said Ghanaians voted against John Mahama out of hunger and anger.
He added that if the hunger and anger persisted, the same Ghanaians would base their vote on that and vote against Akufo-Addo.
