A former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Prof Agyeman Badu Akosa, has shot down the relevance to development of the practice of multi-party democracy system of governance in Ghana since 1992.
According to him, the system has failed to meet its intended expectations and has not effectively served the country's broader interests.
Instead, he argued, it has primarily benefited a select few - particularly those within the political class.
Speaking at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) Public Lecture Series on April 11, 2025, Prof Akosa stated that over the years, the political class has become the primary beneficiary of the system, leaving other segments of society increasingly marginalised. "I believe sincerely, and I'll say it here today, that multi-party democracy has done nothing for this country.
