A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Charles Wereko-Brobbey, has attributed the party's electoral defeat not to its presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, but to what he describes as a string of failed policies under the NPP government.

Speaking in an interview with TV3 monitored by GhanaWeb, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Volta River Authority(VRA) in a candid assessment of the party's performance, urged the NPP leadership to focus less on defending its choice of candidate and more on a sincere reflection of why Ghanaians voted against them in such large numbers. "What I expect from the opposition party is to be more concerned about examining the reasons for its very bad performance in the last election and the huge rejection that Ghanaians gave to them," he said.

According to him, the 2024 defeat was not a repudiation of Dr.

Bawumia's candidacy but rather a reaction to the government's inability to deliver on key promises.
