Turn ‘Thank You Tour’ into Apology Tour – Kwame Danso slams NPP

The 2024 running mate of the Movement for Change, Kwame Danso, criticized the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) “Thank You Tour.” He called it ‘tone-deaf’ and ‘misplaced’ amid rising public dissatisfaction.

In an interview on Nhyira FM’s Kuroyi Mu Nsem show, he said the NPP should apologize to Ghanaians. He believes they should acknowledge their “unpopular and burdensome policies” while in power.

"Instead of a 'Thank You Tour', the NPP should go on an apology tour," he stated. He pointed to the Electronic Levy (E-levy), betting tax, and the National Cathedral project as examples of damaging policies.

“To regain appeal, the NPP must apologize for these decisions,” he emphasized. He argued that their tour lacks purpose without reconciling with Ghanaians.

Mr. Danso urged the NPP to be a “responsible opposition.” As Ghana moves away from Nana Addo and Bawumia's leadership, they should offer constructive ideas instead of obstructing progress.

Regarding potential collaboration with Alan Kyerematen, Mr. Danso said doors are not entirely closed. He suggested that if the NPP wants Alan's support, they need credible mediators and a genuine apology.

Mutual respect and accountability are essential for any alliance, he noted.
