First National Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dankwa Smith Butey, popularly known as Chairman Butey, has criticized the national executives for blaming President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the party's failure in the 2024 elections.
According to him, if they were unable to rein in the former president when they knew his actions were damaging the party, then they have no right to blame him for the party's humiliating defeat.
Chairman Butey asserted that the national executives must take responsibility for the party's failure to "break the eight," citing their ineffectiveness and incompetence in executing their duties. "They claim Akufo-Addo made us lose, but as national executives, when he was taking the actions that led to our loss, what did you say to him?" he questioned.
He continued, "You were silent, and now that his actions have affected the party, you turn around and blame him?
