Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament-elect for Ketu North, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to accept the results of the 2024 elections as a clear verdict on the performance of the Akufo-Addo government.
Speaking on Point Blank on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday, Agbana emphasised that the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians were not impressed with the governance provided by the NPP, which led to their defeat.
“I think that the NPP must accept that the election was a verdict on the performance of the Akufo-Addo government and the verdict is that the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians are not impressed with the kind of governance that the NPP provided.
“The verdict is that the Ghanaian people wanted change, they wanted change in leadership and that is why even constituencies that were regarded as traditionally NPP strongholds some of them we have snatched those seats,” Agbana stated.
Agbana further highlighted that the election results vindicated President Mahama’s campaign focus on the economy.
“The verdict is that President Mahama has been vindicated when he kept saying on the campaign platforms that it is about the economy. It is about the economy because we went around campaigning, for many of the people that we met, and communities that we visited it is not about all the grammar and so-called achievements that they kept parading.
“The people wanted improvements in their living conditions. People were complaining about the surge in food prices, people were complaining about the exchange rate,” he added.
