#2024Polls: Ghana has sent us a strong message – Oppong Nkrumah outlines why NPP lost
“The people of Ghana have sent us a strong message,” Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has said.
The Minister for Works & Housing spoke to Joy News, Monday, December 9, outlining why the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) suffered a devastating defeat at the 2024 polls.
According to him, there was a marked apathy on the part of NPP supporters, greatly impacting the performance of the party once led by President Nana Akufo-Addo and now Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
“We won’t vote [for NPP] because we’re angry,” Oppong Nkrumah echoed some voter sentiments.
“We won’t vote because we’re disappointed.
“We won’t vote until you give us money.”
He said electorates bemoaned “how some senior government officials carried themselves”.
The former Information Minister underlined it was important to “embrace these reasons,” recalibrate and do better.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah greatly emphasised the dangers of complacency, admonishing: "The political class needs to listen a lot more to the people."
He cautioned the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), which has won the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, from all indications – including Dr Bawumia conceding defeat – to take note of the fate suffered by the NPP at the polls, feeling the full weight of the mandate they are about inheriting, and take their service to the people of Ghana seriously.
