Kofi Bentil Says Government Can Lose Power Without Failing Ahead of 2028 Elections

According to a report by TV3 Ghana today being Sunday, November 15, 2026, Kofi Bentil, Vice President of IMANI Africa, has argued that a government does not necessarily have to fail in its administration before losing an election, stressing that the ideas and policies presented by political parties could play a significant role in determining the outcome of Ghana’s 2028 general elections.

Bentil explained that political parties should not assume that their chances of retaining power depend entirely on whether the government in office has performed poorly.

According to him, voters can decide to support an alternative political party because they find its proposals, policies and vision more convincing.

He also highlighted the growing importance of Generation Z in the country’s political landscape, suggesting that young voters could have a considerable influence on the direction of the 2028 elections.

The IMANI Africa Vice President indicated that the next general elections could be shaped by the ability of political parties to present practical ideas that respond to the expectations and concerns of younger generations.

He believes that members of Gen Z are becoming an important voting population whose political decisions may not necessarily be influenced by traditional party loyalties. Instead, their choices could depend on the quality of policies, development plans and solutions offered by the various political groups.

Bentil’s comments suggest that political parties must prepare to engage voters with clear and convincing ideas rather than relying solely on criticisms of their opponents or the performance of the incumbent administration.

His remarks come as political conversations surrounding Ghana’s 2028 general elections continue to develop, with parties expected to consider different approaches to attracting public support.

The comments also draw attention to the changing nature of electoral participation and the possible influence of younger voters in future political contests.

Bentil maintains that the ability to present the most convincing ideas could become a major consideration for voters when they head to the polls in 2028.
