Minority Spokesperson on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has voiced confidence in the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, stating that Ghanaians will come to appreciate his ideas ahead of the 2028 general elections.

He argued that political cycles often change public perception, adding that policies which may not be fully understood at first can gain support over time.

He pointed to Dr Bawumia’s advocacy for the gold purchase programme, describing it as one of several ideas that have gained recognition.

According to him, some of Dr Bawumia’s proposals have been acknowledged by the government as effective, while others are yet to be implemented.

He cited the proposed introduction of a national credit system as an example, noting that credit-based purchasing could stimulate demand, improve living standards, and drive productivity in the economy.

Responding to concerns about current economic difficulties and public dissatisfaction among some groups, Oppong Nkrumah maintained that time would shape voter judgment.

He stated that while the party got some decisions right and others wrong during its time in office, lessons had been learned.

He expressed hope that Ghanaians would eventually give Dr Bawumia and the NPP another opportunity, adding that he believes the flagbearer would deliver to the satisfaction of the public.
