Abena Osei Asare, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, has claimed Ghanaians feel “deceived” by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
Speaking at an NPP campaign launch in Akwatia on July 30, the former deputy minister asserted that President John Mahama’s administration secured power through false promises.
According to public records, Osei Asare stated: “Within six months, Ghanaians have realized the NDC deceived them. They govern with deception.” She urged voters to support the NPP’s Akwatia by-election candidate to strengthen the party’s 88 parliamentary seats and “expose NDC lies.”
The MP appealed to disengaged voters, saying: “Some didn’t vote in 2024 due to anger or personal disputes. I plead: vote now. Ghanaians hope we can better their lot.” She framed the campaign as a tribute to late NPP MP Ernest Kumi, who previously held the Akwatia seat: “Honor Kumi’s sacrifice with your votes.”
The remarks highlight escalating political tensions as Ghana approaches the 2028 election cycle.
