NPP’s 2024 defeat proves calls for Ofori-Atta’s removal were justified – Tema Central MP

The Member of Parliament for Tema Central, Yves Hanson-Nortey, has linked the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) 2024 electoral defeat to economic mismanagement under former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

Speaking to journalists in Parliament, Hanson-Nortey argued that the NPP’s significant loss of parliamentary seats and poor overall performance validate the stance taken by 94 Majority caucus members who called for Ofori-Atta’s dismissal in 2023.

“The election outcome reflects the consequences of ignoring widespread concerns about the economy under Ofori-Atta’s leadership,” Hanson-Nortey said.

He highlighted his involvement in the "Ken Must Go" campaign, emphasizing that over 135 MPs shared similar views on the mismanagement issue.

The MP noted the election results as evidence that public grievances were not adequately addressed, contributing to the NPP's defeat.
