Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will adopt a constructive and responsible approach as an opposition party following its defeat in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking after the NPP's loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Aboagye affirmed that the party would remain committed to upholding democratic principles and ensuring that good governance continues.

In an interview with Channel One TV, Mr Aboagye sought to reassure the public that despite the challenges faced by the outgoing administration, the NPP would not resort to retaliatory measures.

He stressed that the party's response to the loss would not be driven by bitterness or vendettas but would focus on constructive engagement with the government.

Mr Aboagye stressed that the NPP's priority moving forward would be to provide valuable feedback on the government's policies and actions to improve the nation's development.

He emphasized that such engagements would not merely be critical but would be rooted in a desire to contribute positively to the progress of the country.

Rather than seeking to undermine the government, Mr Aboagye explained that the NPP would strive to hold the ruling party accountable through responsible and well-thought-out opposition.

He pointed out that this approach would not only enhance democracy but also strengthen the country's governance structures, ultimately benefiting the citizens.

Mr Aboagye reaffirmed that the NPP would work within the confines of democratic principles, regardless of the criticisms it faced, and continue to support the principles of good governance.

“We’re not going to be a disruptive opposition, if you want to destroy, you don’t need plenty of people to destroy. But we are not going to do that. This government really suffered at the hands of the opposition in Parliament."

“And it was deliberate, it was strategically done to compound the challenges of the government so that it looked bad in the eyes of the people. Do you remember how long it took us to pass the E-Levy? Within the period waiting to pass the E-Levy from 2021 November to when it was passed in May or also [March 2022], we were downgraded two to three times."

“The dollar moved from about GHC5 to GHC8, and a lot of things happened. Basically, everything you take to parliament you had opposition, you eventually get it but you have to go through so much of a waiting period and that was disruptive.”
