The
Member
of
Parliament
for
Subin
Constituency,
Eugene
Boakye
Antwi,
is
of
the
view
that
the
failure
to
sack
the
finance
minister,
Ken
Ofori
Atta,
in
time
caused
the
party
to
lose
the
2024
elections.
The
few
weeks
ahead
of
us
are
all
about
blame
games,
with
the
members
of
the
NPP
going
to
blame
each
other
for
allegedly
causing
their
loss
in
the
2024
Elections.
Well,
according
to
the
MP,
there
was
an
outcry
by
the
public
for
the
President
to
sack
his
cousin
the
then
finance
minister
Ken
Ofori
Atta
because
the
economy
was
dwindling
and
that
was
affecting
their
livelihood.
He
added
that
those
in
charge
turned
deaf
ears
to
the
comments
from
the
public
and
rather
allowed
him
to
continue
work
until
February
2024,
when
he
was
reassigned
to
a
different
position.
He
said,
“Keeping
Ken
Ofori-Atta
at
the
post
until
February
2024
meant
that
we
were
not
listening
to
the
very
people
who
voted
for
us,
and
therefore,
we
didn’t
deserve
their
vote
in
2024.”
“The
electorate
has
punished
us
severely
and
taught
the
NPP
a
bitter
lesson.
Almost
a
third
of
registered
voters
did
not
visit
their
polling
stations
to
vote
due
to
apathy.
This
is
a
stark
reminder
that
leadership
must
be
responsive
to
the
people’s
needs,
or
else
they
will
simply
disengage
from
the
political
process,”
he
added.
The
declaration
comes
amid
growing
unhappiness
among
NPP
members
and
requests
for
a
leadership
review
ahead
of
the
2024
elections.
Antwi’s
words
highlight
the
growing
rift
between
party
leadership
and
the
electorate,
with
many
asking
whether
the
NPP
can
recover
from
its
recent
defeats
and
restore
the
trust
of
Ghanaians.
