Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Percival Kofi Akpaloo, has criticised the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing it of failing to fulfil its promises and arguing that it does not deserve another term in office after the 2028 general election.
Akpaloo said many Ghanaians were still struggling with economic hardship and questioned whether the government had delivered the improvements it pledged during the election campaign.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, he alleged that the NDC had failed to honour its commitments to voters and that conditions for many citizens had remained difficult.
“NDC has never fulfilled their promises to Ghanaians. They have rather brought hardship to Ghanaians; galamsey is now even worse,” he said.
Akpaloo criticises government over galamsey
The LPG leader also raised concerns about illegal small-scale mining, popularly known as galamsey, claiming that the problem had worsened under the current administration.
He cited the issue, alongside the economic difficulties facing Ghanaians, as part of his criticism of the government’s record.
Akpaloo argued that voters should assess the NDC’s performance and its delivery on campaign promises as political parties prepare for the next general election.
“They do not deserve to win the 2028 election,” he stated.
His comments reflect his position that the government should be judged by the extent to which it has addressed the concerns and expectations of the electorate.
Resilience key to 2028 campaign, Akpaloo says
Beyond his criticism of the NDC, Akpaloo said sustained effort and resilience would be important for political parties seeking electoral success in 2028.
“The 2028 election is for those who will be resilient in their campaign,” he said.
The LPG leader’s remarks add to the political debate ahead of the next general election, with economic hardship, campaign promises and the fight against illegal mining among the issues he has raised in questioning the NDC’s performance.
His comments represent his assessment of the government’s record, while voters will ultimately make their own judgments about the parties and candidates competing in 2028.
