In a searing critique of his former party, Nana Ohene Ntow, the former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and now a key ally of Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen’s Movement for Change, has issued a stark warning to Ghanaian voters. Speaking with palpable emotion on Onua Maakye with Godsbrain Smart, aka Captain Smart, Ohene Ntow cautioned voters to think twice before supporting the NPP in the upcoming December 2024 elections, asserting that a victory for the party would only result in further disrespect for the Ghanaian populace.
Ohene Ntow expressed his frustration and disillusionment with his former party. “I don’t know what it would take for me to consider rejoining the NPP,” he said, emphasizing his deep-seated grievances. “Alan Kyerematen and I have no intention of returning to the NPP. If you want to know, just ask him yourself—Alan is not going back to the NPP, now or ever.”
Reflecting on the party’s recent actions and its treatment of its members, Ohene Ntow voiced his frustration, “With the prevailing harsher conditions of living, if Ghanaians vote for the NPP again, they will never respect the Ghanaian people. Take it from me, the NPP will never respect Ghanaians should they win the impending election given the state of affairs in the country.”
Alan Kyerematen, who previously served as Minister for Trade and Industry, has long been a prominent figure within the NPP. Despite his continuous efforts to lead the party, he has consistently been overshadowed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Frustrated by perceived unfair treatment and obstacles to his leadership aspirations, Kyerematen decided to part ways with the NPP—a party he helped establish in 1992.
The former NPP General Secretary’s scathing comments are a reflection of the broader discontent within the Movement for Change, highlighting a deep-seated frustration with the current political establishment. As the December elections approach, Ohene Ntow’s warnings may resonate with voters concerned about the future direction of Ghanaian politics and the respect afforded to ordinary citizens by their leaders.
