Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, has claimed that Ghana is progressing faster in development than European countries.
Speaking at a UK Town Hall meeting, Wontumi praised the policies of NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of these initiatives globally.
However, Wontumi highlighted a significant challenge for Ghana: the frequent change in political leadership every eight years between the NDC and NPP. He argued that sustained development requires continuity with one political party in power over an extended period.
“The policies our Flagbearer, our party leader and vice president is bringing have never been seen before in any part of the world. From my experience living in the UK and Ghana, I can confidently say that Ghana is changing faster than Europe.
“However, the problem we have is that from 1992 to now – the 4th Republic – it has been NDC, NPP. And so, after eight years, the party in government is changed for the other party to take over. Ghana will never develop unless we keep one political party in power for a long time before we can have a big transformation to develop our country,” he said.
Wontumi elaborated on the detrimental effects of political transitions, noting, “Since 1992 in the 4th Republic, it’s been a cycle of NDC, NPP. Every eight years, power shifts, interrupting development. Ghana needs prolonged political stability to achieve substantial transformation and development.”
He explained that each change in government requires a transitional period of at least two years, during which development stagnates.
