Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the minister of defense, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he calls a lack of care for Ghanaians’ well-being.
He claims that rather than attending to the urgent needs of the populace, the NPP is only interested in holding onto political power.
Following the announcement by the NPP that it would hold presidential primaries on January 31, 2026, to choose a flagbearer for the general elections in 2028, Dr. Boamah made the remarks in a Facebook post on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
The statement came after a Tuesday meeting of the National Executive Committee in Accra.
The defense minister criticized the ruling party of not expressing regret for the suffering caused under its leadership in a sharply worded article.
“The Competent Economic Management Team did enough damage to pensioners, people with disabilities, women, the youth and Ghanaians in general,” he wrote. “In six short months, instead of apologising sincerely for their misdeeds, they’re focusing on the next elections.”
Dr. Boamah went on to say that the NPP’s stance is indicative of a larger trend of disregard and self-interest.
“NPP thinks only about themselves and the next elections,” he said, suggesting that the party’s priority has always been political survival over national progress.
