Is this the legacy they want to leave? – Asah Asante to NPP

The political analyst and senior lecturer at the University of Ghana's Political Science Department, Asah Asante, has questioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) about the legacy they want to leave behind after they have left office.

Speaking to Naa Dede on Starr FM, he expressed disappointment in the NPP government regarding how they are handling their final duties in office, particularly the issue of the finance minister failing to present the year's budget, causing Parliament to close and resume on January 2, 2025.

According to him, the behaviour of the NPP is very uncomfortable. They need to step back, reflect on their mistakes, and improve. Trying to make things difficult for the incoming government will not be a good legacy for their administration.

"The posture of the NPP, I'm very uncomfortable with it. You have done your bit; the people of this country have rejected you. It is not the end of the world. You must take a back seat, look at what went wrong, reflect, and improve yourself, and prepare ahead of 2028.

"You want to hold the incoming government to ransom. Is that what they want to do? I'm not sure that is the legacy they want to leave at the end of the day," he said.

He added that even though the Akufo-Addo-led government did some good for Ghana, it wasn't enough for the people, which is why they voted them out of power. They should do the needful and be fair.
