According to Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi Constituency, political cycles often influence public perception, and policies that may initially face skepticism can gain broader acceptance over time.
Speaking on the party’s prospects, Oppong Nkrumah argued that several of Dr Bawumia’s policy proposals have already begun receiving recognition, citing the gold purchase programme as a notable example. He described the initiative as a forward-looking intervention that has gradually gained traction in national economic discussions.
He further indicated that while some of Dr Bawumia’s ideas have been acknowledged and adopted by government, others remain under consideration. Among these, he highlighted the proposed introduction of a national credit system.
Oppong Nkrumah explained that a structured credit-based purchasing framework could stimulate domestic demand, enhance household consumption capacity, and ultimately drive productivity within the economy. He suggested that expanding access to credit would improve living standards while supporting private sector growth.
Addressing concerns over current economic challenges and public dissatisfaction in some quarters, the Minority spokesperson maintained that voter judgment would ultimately be shaped by time and reflection.
He conceded that during its tenure in office, the NPP made both successful and flawed decisions. However, he stressed that the party had drawn lessons from its governance experience.
Oppong Nkrumah expressed optimism that Ghanaians would grant Dr Bawumia and the NPP another mandate in 2028, stating his belief that the party’s flagbearer would deliver policies capable of meeting public expectations.
