The 2024 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Anyaa Sowutuom, Emmanuel Adortey Allotey, has predicted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will remain in opposition for the next 32 years before regaining power.
Speaking on the Angel Morning Show (AMS) on February 10, 2025, Allotey stated that the policies introduced by President John Dramani Mahama clearly demonstrate that the NPP has little to offer Ghanaians. He cited the ban on non-essential travel for government appointees as a major step towards reducing government expenditure and improving fiscal discipline.
He argued that a comparison between NDC and NPP policies proves that President Mahama is making significant strides in governance, and Ghanaians should recognize and appreciate these positive changes.
“Mahama is putting things in place, cutting down expenditure on travels, and reducing the number of ministers. This will help the NDC rise even higher. When I check the crystal board, they [NPP] are left with 32 years before they can come back to power,” he said.
Allotey further stated that corruption will be effectively tackled under Mahama’s administration, emphasizing that the newly established ORAL Committee is not just investigating the previous government but will also ensure transparency and accountability within the current administration.
He also took a swipe at NPP members campaigning for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong to lead the party in the 2028 general election, advising them to slow down as, in his view, they have a long wait ahead before the party can reclaim power.
“Lawyer, you people have 32 years to win power. Those campaigning for Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong should relax; they have a long way to go,” he added.
Allotey concluded that President Mahama is determined to leave a lasting legacy that will transform the nation, ensuring that Ghanaians enjoy good governance, reduced corruption, and sustainable economic policies.
His comments contribute to the ongoing debate over Ghana’s political future and the direction of both major political parties.
