A constitutional review is long overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments came in response to a press conference held by NPP National Chairman, Stephen Ntim, who acknowledged the party\u2019s defeat to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and outlined plans for a post-election review.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt that the outcome of the elections is not what we wished for,\u201d Mr. Ntim said. \u201cThe party will set up an election review committee in January 2025 to engage stakeholders and analyze the factors leading to our defeat, paving the way for reforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Appiah Kubi contended that the party\u2019s leadership selection process, which relies heavily on a monetized system, undermines the emergence of the best candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMonetization in the NPP will not bring out the best candidates for leadership roles,\u201d he warned. He further emphasized the need to reward competence and loyalty instead of fostering cronyism within the party.<\/p>\n<p>Adding his voice to the debate, Professor Ransford Gyampo a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana attributed the NPP\u2019s loss to issues such as corruption, arrogance, economic mismanagement, and nepotism.<\/p>\n<p>He dismissed the notion that voter apathy was the primary cause of the defeat, saying, \u201cBlaming apathy without addressing the real reasons is mere propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor Gyampo also criticized the party\u2019s decision to set up a committee to investigate the loss, stating that the reasons for the defeat were already clear. \u201cPeople didn\u2019t vote because they felt let down. Corruption, arrogance, economic mismanagement, and nepotism cost the NPP the elections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong> https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outgoing Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah Kubi, has strongly criticized the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) constitution, describing it as outdated and flawed in its processes for selecting party leaders.
