Kennedy Agyapong urges NPP to admit economic woes and apologise to Ghanaians

“You first have to admit that there are hardships, let’s give NPP another chance, and I know we have all learnt our lessons," he stated.

NPP flagbearer Mahamudu Bawumia has been atop a government that has overseen the worst economic crisis in decades.

Ghana returned to the IMF in 2022 for a bailout for the 17th time due to its economic crisis.

Bawumia has already tried to distance himself from some of the Akufo-Addo administration's policies, promising to reverse some of them if he becomes president.

Similar advice to NPP from the Asantehene

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II earlier advised Bawumia to acknowledge his failures while campaigning.

During an engagement at the Manhyia Palace on June 12, 2024, the Asantehene also urged the Vice-President to communicate his policy proposals with clarity to Ghanaians.

According to Joy News, the Asantehene believes Ghanaians are willing to respond to the Vice President's admission of governance failings.
