Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu Reveals How Akufo-Addo’s Arrogance and Corruption Led To NPP’s Defeat

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, a former Majority Leader, has identified internal conflicts, ineffective leadership and public dissatisfaction with the Akufo-Addo government as major reasons for the NPP’s loss in the 2024 general elections.

He stated that allegations of widespread corruption and the perceived arrogance of some government officials contributed to the party’s declining popularity. These concerns, he said, discouraged some supporters from voting.

Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu also referred to a warning given by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in 2017, when he cautioned the NPP about the possible political consequences of ignoring the concerns of the Ghanaian people.

According to the former Majority Leader, the party failed to take the warning seriously, which contributed to its electoral setback. He added that the lack of enthusiasm among supporters during campaign activities nationwide should have alerted the party to its weakening political position.

He dismissed suggestions that tribal or ethnic considerations determined the election results. Instead, he maintained that internal divisions and weaknesses in government were the main factors behind the defeat.

Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has called on the NPP to undertake a comprehensive assessment of its performance, resolve its internal challenges and introduce reforms aimed at rebuilding public trust before the 2028 elections.
