Newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, A Plus, has made a bold call for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to expel Nana Akufo-Addo. A Plus accuses Akufo-Addo of undermining the party and its traditions with poor leadership over the past eight years.
Speaking on the United Showbiz program, A Plus argued that Akufo-Addo's leadership had severely damaged the party. He claimed that anyone who voted against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in recent party internal elections did so because of Akufo-Addo's influence.
A Plus expressed disbelief that the NPP, under Akufo-Addo's leadership, was even able to campaign for the 2024 elections. He criticized several decisions by the government, including the controversial haircut policy and the betting tax.
According to A Plus, these unpopular moves had alienated the youth and worsened the economic situation for the middle class. He believes that this has led to a bleak outlook for the party's future.
A Plus urged the NPP to unite in this challenging period, remove Akufo-Addo from the party, and focus on rebuilding a strong opposition. He emphasized that this is necessary for the party to contribute meaningfully to Ghana's democracy.
A Plus' comments reflect growing discontent within the party, as factions within the NPP have raised concerns over the direction of the party following the upcoming elections.
