Seth Acheampong a former Eastern Regional Minister has stated it is a good thing that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is in opposition.
According to Seth Acheampong, the NPP in opposition will be able to do some reforms and come back with ideas to change Ghana.
Speaking on Channel One TV, he stated, “It is good that we came into opposition because when we come into opposition, we help Ghana. We are able to do good reforms”
He continued “I am happy we are in opposition because we are coming to ensure that the reset agenda they are describing, which they will not be able to achieve, definitely we will package it decently and make Ghana better that is what we do and we know how to do it very well”.
Adding that “They will laugh at us that we will stay in opposition in perpetuity…I wouldn’t want to run my mouth this morning… The party is taking good decisions, let all of us respect the decisions of the political party”, he added.
Meanwhile, a former member of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Richard Amoako Baah, has described the party as having been captured by demonic influences.
According to him, the widespread dishonesty and acts of wickedness that plagued the Akufo-Addo-led administration is evidence of the party being under satanic influences.
In a recent interview on Adom FM, he boldly said, “Satan has taken over the NPP, and so we are not worried about criminality. We don’t care when we are lying, we steal money without any remorse; look at what they did with the pensioners’ money. They watched on for KAMA to die; are they that wicked? Nobody was even able to assist him in any way. They will surely pay for what they did”.
During the interview, Dr Amoako Baah reiterated his decision to leave the party. He noted that violence and the bad deeds in the party keep on escalating day by day.
His comments come shortly after former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, similarly called for the removal of what he described as “demons” within the NPP.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng emphasized that he expected all party executives to step down, citing what he described as poor leadership a failure he believes resulted in the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections.
Following the party’s overwhelming defeat at the December 7, 2025, general elections, some members of the party have openly criticized the party.
The NPP’s General Secretary issued a gag order, directing the party faithful to cease publicly maligning the party in the media.
His bastardizing of the party comes after the party announced the formation of a nine-member committee tasked with reviewing recommendations from the Professor Mike Oquaye-led Elections Review Committee report.
The Oquaye Committee was established to investigate the reasons behind the party’s loss, which included a significant reduction in parliamentary seats and the presidency.
Speaking at a press briefing, the NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong emphasized the need for constitutional amendments to address gaps identified in the report.
“The National Council accepted the report, but there are several steps we need to take as a party. We need to sit down and deliberate on the report. There will be a need for a constitutional amendment”.
He assured the public that the party would communicate the report’s contents and recommendations in due course.
Frimpong Koduah also cautioned party members against speculative comments, urging patience as the committee begins its work.
