Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah has accused Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of refusing to take responsibility for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 general elections.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, 27th April 2025, Dr Boamah criticised the NPP flagbearer, alleging that he was attempting to shift blame onto others rather than accepting his role in the party’s electoral loss.
In his post, Dr Boamah asserted that Dr Bawumia played a pivotal role in the economic challenges that contributed to the NPP’s downfall.
"Elections 2024: Bawumia is blaming everything & everybody EXCEPT HIMSELF. Bawumia was critical for NPP's economic mess!" he wrote, underscoring his belief that Dr Bawumia’s leadership failures were central to the party’s defeat.
The Defence Minister’s comments add to the growing chorus of criticism from political opponents who have argued that the NPP leadership failed to adequately address the country's economic difficulties, leading to widespread voter dissatisfaction.
