KOKA Addresses NPP's Defeat: "We Did A Lot Of Things Ghanaians Did Not Like"

• Ghanaians, including NPP stalwarts and key NDC members, have attempted an explanation for the NPP's humiliating defeat in the just-ended elections
• KOKA, who unveiled his political affiliation ahead of the elections, has also come up with an explanation for his party's defeat
• He noted that the NPP made a lot of mistakes and also did so many things Ghanaians did not like, like keeping Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta at post when Ghanaians said he should go

Ghanaian media personality Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, has offered a candid assessment of the party's performance.

In an interview with Kwadwo Sheldon, KOKA acknowledged that several party missteps contributed to their loss.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, ran for president in the 2024 December polls but suffered a humiliating defeat.

His biggest rival, John Mahama, who contested the NDC's ticket, won the bid with over 15 per cent.

Concerned party supporters, including KOKA and some opposition members, have attempted to explain why the NPP lost the elections.

One major thing KOKA spoke about was the outgoing government's adamancy towards the plights of Ghanaians.

He cited, for instance, President Akufo-Addo's refusal to dismiss then-Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta when there were various calls for his removal from office cost the NPP a lot in the just-ended polls.

He also stated that most Ghanaians, especially NPP supporters, did not go out to vote because they were disappointed in the Akufo-Addo-led administration.

"I thought they said it was the NDC who preached the sack of finance minister (bcus they’re not Ghanaians)? I feel the “self-introspection” and “correcting the wrongs” they’re preaching is just to appeal to the intelligence and emotions of Ghanaian. They knew what they were doing!"

"How sure is the NPP that if more people showed up to vote they were going to get all that votes? NPP supporters aren’t being realistic. They’ve transformed into a different dimension."
