Karaga MP, Hon. Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to swiftly reorganize following its 2024 electoral loss, citing growing public dissatisfaction with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a press release dated 16th July 2025, Dr. Amin Adam urged party faithful not to despair over the post-election challenges, stating:
“It is not unusual for a party defeated in elections seven months ago to face the internal problems we are currently experiencing. This is a phase that will undoubtedly pass.”
He argued that the Mahama administration has failed to live up to expectations, warning that the goodwill the NDC enjoyed upon assuming office is rapidly eroding.
“The goodwill they enjoyed at the outset of their administration is rapidly eroding under the weight of failing policies.”
Dr. Amin Adam criticized the recent introduction of the “Dumsor Levy”, which he said would worsen the cost of living.
“This levy will worsen the cost of living for Ghanaians,” he said, adding that the government had ignored calls from Ghanaians and transport unions to reconsider the policy.
He also accused the NDC of failing the youth:
“It is deeply troubling to learn that a government that promised jobs will implement measures that take jobs away from the very people who voted them into office.”
On the economic front, he challenged the government’s narrative that the economy was in shambles before their takeover. He referenced an IMF report which revealed that the Bank of Ghana intervened in the forex market with $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025, contradicting official denials.
He further criticized the government’s manipulation of fiscal data to exaggerate the deficit:
“A significant share of such payables may not be supported by valid documentation,” he quoted the IMF audit, indicating potential revisions to the fiscal outlook.
Dr. Amin Adam also highlighted auction failures in the government’s domestic borrowing strategy.
“Out of the 28 treasury auctions held from January to July 2025, 13 auctions failed to meet the target,” he revealed, pointing to declining investor confidence.
He dismissed the 24-Hour Economy Programme as an empty promise:
“It remains a theoretical construct with attractive visuals… practically difficult to realize… as the government has not allocated a budget for its realisation.”
Calling on the NPP to focus on unity and preparation ahead of the 2028 elections, he urged:
“The campaign for 2028 begins now… Let us rally behind the leadership of the party, for in unity lies strength.”
Dr. Amin Adam concluded by expressing confidence in the NPP’s ability to bounce back:
“We have the capability and the resolve to rise above our current challenges, regain the trust of the Ghanaian people, and return to power.”
