Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has issued a stark warning about the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) chances in the 2024 general elections. Speaking at a recent campaign event, Agyapong predicted defeat for the ruling party, attributing this to Ghana’s ongoing economic challenges.
In remarks reported by GhanaWeb, Agyapong declared, “The New Patriotic Party has already lost the 2024 election. The election was lost back in 2022 when the Ghanaian cedi collapsed, affecting everyone from businessmen to ordinary citizens.”
He cited the significant depreciation of the cedi, rising inflation, and escalating costs of living as key issues that have eroded public confidence in the NPP. Agyapong contended that these economic challenges have not only tarnished the party’s reputation but also alienated significant portions of the electorate.
The Assin Central MP further highlighted the political consequences of widespread economic hardship, arguing that voters often respond to such situations with frustration and demand change. “When people are struggling to make ends meet, their votes reflect their dissatisfaction. This is the reality the NPP is facing,” Agyapong stated.
Agyapong’s comments reflect a growing sentiment of discontent among the electorate, a situation that opposition parties may exploit as the election approaches. He warned that the NPP must urgently address the economic grievances of Ghanaians if it hopes to regain public trust and remain competitive in the 2024 elections.
As the political landscape intensifies, the NPP faces significant pressure to counteract these challenges and reassure voters of its ability to steer the country through economic recovery.
