The Ghanaian voter is becoming more sophisticated – NPP’s Assafuah says on their loss

The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo Constituency, Vincent Ekow Assafuah has described the outcome of the December 7 elections as shocking.

He nonetheless called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to accept and reflect on the loss as they prepare for 2028.

Speaking in an interview with Alfred Ocansey on the Key Points on December 21, Assafuah said he had been optimistic about the NPP’s chances in the elections due to the government’s achievements in infrastructure development and poverty alleviation policies.

However, he noted that the verdict of the Ghanaian electorate indicates the growing sophistication of voters and their rising expectations.

“I was of the utmost conviction that the New Patriotic Party would be given another mandate because of the good policies of this government. Unfortunately, the people of Ghana thought otherwise, and they’ve passed a verdict. We have to accept it and reflect on what didn’t go well,” Assafuah said.

The Old Tafo MP highlighted some of the initiatives implemented by the NPP government in his constituency, including road construction, school infrastructure, scholarships, and the introduction of the Free Senior High School policy.

Despite these efforts, he believes the party may not have met the full expectations of voters, resulting in the unfavorable outcome.

Assafuah emphasized the need for the NPP to take the feedback from the elections seriously, adapt to the evolving demands of the electorate, and work to rebuild trust.

“The Ghanaian voter is becoming more sophisticated, and it is our responsibility to meet their expectations,” he added.

As the party navigates its path forward, Assafuah urged party members to focus on addressing any shortcomings and fostering stronger connections with the people to regain their confidence.
