Akufo-Addo and family responsible for NPP’s defeat – Subin MP alleges

The Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has asserted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his family members bear significant responsibility for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) recent electoral defeat.

Speaking during an interview on Good Morning Ghana, Mr. Boakye Antwi cited arrogance and internal discord as key factors contributing to the party’s poor performance.

He expressed concern over how some Members of Parliament and party leaders conducted themselves during their tenure, noting that their perceived arrogance alienated supporters and created a disconnect with the grassroots.

“The NPP’s defeat cannot be discussed without mentioning Akufo-Addo,” Mr. Boakye Antwi remarked. He accused the President and certain members of his family of mistreating loyal party members, which he believes deepened divisions within the party and eroded its support base.

“Akufo-Addo has been the leader of our party since December 2000. I was once his polling agent. How can we avoid holding him accountable for what has happened?

He has been the leader of the party for 17 years—longer than anyone since Busia’s time. To exclude his name from this narrative would be dishonest,” he said.

The Subin MP also criticized the actions of some family members of the President, alleging that their treatment of the party faithful further weakened the NPP’s unity and contributed to its decline.

He emphasized that such internal issues must be acknowledged and addressed if the party hopes to rebuild.
