The Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has launched a scathing attack on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his family members, blaming them for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) recent electoral defeat.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Boakye Antwi cited arrogance and internal discord as key factors contributing to the party’s poor performance.
Boakye Antwi expressed concern over the conduct of some Members of Parliament and party leaders during their tenure, noting that their perceived arrogance alienated supporters and created a disconnect with the grassroots.
“The NPP’s defeat cannot be discussed without mentioning Akufo-Addo,” he remarked.
The Subin MP accused the President and certain members of his family of mistreating loyal party members, which he believes deepened divisions within the party and eroded its support base.
“Akufo-Addo has been the leader of our party since December 2000. I was once his polling agent. How can we avoid holding him accountable for what has happened?” he asked.
Boakye Antwi also criticized the actions of some family members of the President, alleging that their treatment of the party faithful further weakened the NPP’s unity and contributed to its decline.
He emphasized that such internal issues must be acknowledged and addressed if the party hopes to rebuild.
This is not the first time Boakye Antwi has spoken out against the NPP’s leadership. In 2022, he was one of several NPP MPs who called for the removal of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta due to alleged mismanagement of Ghana’s economy . Boakye Antwi’s comments have sparked a heated debate within the NPP, with some calling for introspection and accountability.
