NPP only party capable of transforming Ghana despite economic challenges – Boakye Agyarko.
Former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko has stated that, despite the economic challenges that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government is facing, he believes that the NPP's ideology has the potential to transform Ghana.
According to him, the NPP's potential has not been fully realized because the party has not allowed the best among its members to carry out this agenda.
"We are not what God intended us to be because we have not allowed the best among us to move us forward." We have allowed all manner of belief systems and ideologies to intervene, and as a result, the best that we have as the New Patriotic Party, as descendants of a United Party tradition, has not been fully exercised," he said.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a two-day workshop hosted by the ruling New Patriotic Party's National Constituency Officers Welfare in Koforidua, Boakye Agyarko, who has declared his intention to run for the NPP's flagbearership, stated that the NPP deserves to be in power for a longer period of time because it is the only party with a better ideology and policies to transform Ghana.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central, who intends to run for flagbearer, has called for an end to practices in which the party's resources are concentrated at the seat of government.
The Coordinating Secretary of the National Constituency Officers Welfare, Jeffrey Edward Osei, is optimistic that the NPP government will overcome the difficult economic challenges to break the eight-year drought (8).

Kofi Bentil, Vice President of IMANI Africa, has chastised the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for comparing records, which led to both parties seeking IMF bailouts during their respective tenures.
Mr. Bentil stated on social media that any decision to seek an IMF bailout program was a failure.
To that end, he claimed that the NPP and NDC both failed after opting to join an IMF program in 2015 and 2022, respectively.
As a result, the lawyer stated that one failure and subsequent recourse to the IMF cannot be compared to the other.
“NDC Please stop!! Every IMF recourse is a failure! NDC and NPP both failed. No one should pretend that one failure was better than another. Those who failed after condemning the previous failure deserve to fail!! "But failure is failure," Kofi Bentil wrote on his Facebook page.
On July 1, President Akufo-Addo directed Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to begin formal discussions with the IMF.
According to a statement signed by Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the engagement will be to invite the Fund to support a government-created economic program.
"Among other things, the government claims that the IMF assistance will provide "balance of payment support as part of a broader effort to accelerate Ghana's recovery in the face of challenges induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, the Russia-Ukraine crisis."
While the decision has elicited differing opinions, both political parties have begun equalization politics.
According to Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a leading member of the NPP, the NPP's decision to seek an IMF program cannot be compared to the NDC's term under John Mahama because the NDC did not have to deal with a global crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic or the Russia-Ukraine war.
