Eugene Boakye Antwi, former MP for Subin constituency
Former Member of Parliament for Subin, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to explore the findings of the party’s committee reports to swiftly resolve issues that led to the party’s debacle in the 2024 Election because Ghanaians are closely watching to ascertain if they have changed.
He cited what he termed as soft governance issues, as one of the reasons behind the poor performance of the party in the last general elections.
Speaking to the party’s efforts to regroup and revitalise grassroot supporters, on Nhyira FM, on April 24, 2025, he cautioned the NPP to demonstrate the right attitude and present reforms that will convince Ghanaians that they have changed.
“Apart from the findings that Ghanaian youth did not vote for the party in the 2024 Election, soft governance issues such as a former Chief Justice picketing with other pensioners, galamsey menace, police recruitment, corruption, among other things, caused the party’s defeat,” he said.
He advised the leadership to make use of the Prof Mike Oquaye report and other committee reports conducted by the party to formulate a cogent strategy for the next election in 2028.
“Ghanaians are watching if we have changed and that is what will inform who will be chosen to lead the party.
“Remember that the message is as good as the messenger. Ghanaians are looking for responsible leadership in the party. They live with us in our communities and see our deeds. So, let’s be mindful of our engagements even in our communities,” he said.
On another score, he lauded the General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, for apologising to Ghanaians at the launch of the nationwide tour, dubbed the “Thank You Tour”.
“I am happy that the General Secretary apologised to electorates and assured that they will right the wrongs that led to the unfortunate turn of events,” he said.
