A prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, has attributed the party's significant loss in the December 7, 2024, elections to the perceived arrogance of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. Appiah-Kubi expressed concerns that Ofori-Atta's approach to governance and financial management alienated key supporters and constituents.
During a recent interview, Appiah-Kubi emphasized that the former minister's demeanor and decision-making style contributed to a disconnect between the party and the electorate. He highlighted that many party loyalists felt overlooked and undervalued, which ultimately influenced their voting decisions. The NPP's defeat has sparked discussions within the party about the need for introspection and a reevaluation of leadership strategies moving forward.
As the party seeks to regroup and understand the factors behind their electoral setback, Appiah-Kubi's remarks serve as a call for unity and a more inclusive approach in future governance. The NPP faces the challenge of rebuilding trust and addressing the concerns raised by its members and supporters.
