Dear Minority (NPP),

This is not a letter. It is an intervention. And to be brutally honest, you are no longer just a minority—you are a Micro Minority, or better still, a Demi Semi Minority. What Ghana confronts today is not merely a shift in power. It is a national reckoning. And you, the NPP Minority, are wobbling on a tightrope stretched between public fury and political extinction.

Accept this. You are not in power. Your presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, lost. Former President John Dramani Mahama is back. The NDC is now the majority with 184 seats. You, the NPP, have just 88. This is not just a defeat. It is a democratic dismissal.

You now occupy a place of reckoning. A place earned through eight years of missed opportunities, bloated promises, and near surgical abuse of power. And now, Ghanaians have handed you a mirror. What will you do with it?

Flashback: In 2016, Mahama lost not because Nana Addo was brilliant but because the people felt let down. The NPP rode in on a high horse of anti-corruption, economic transformation, and moral fortitude. Ghanaians were hopeful. We gave you a historic mandate.

Between 2017 and 2020, you began with a powerstart. Bold rhetoric. High expectations. But very quickly, the mask slipped.

The New Patriotic Party presided over what many now regard as the most brazen era of state abuse in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.

PDS collapsed under fraud allegations, while the Agyapa deal was unmasked as a shady gold royalty scheme with foreign entanglements.

BOST sold contaminated fuel and no heads rolled.

The Australia visa scandal embarrassed the nation on the world stage.

The National Cathedral morphed from a spiritual vision into an expensive pit of sin, drowning in scandalous accountability lapses.

COVID-19 emergency funds were looted in broad daylight.

NABCo, touted as a job creation scheme, proved to be nothing more than an expensive photo-op.

Galamsey turned into a party ATM.

The much-publicized One Million per Constituency initiative produced ghosts, not development.

School feeding money vanished even as children went hungry.

The National Food Buffer Stock Company owed contractors for months while food rotted.

Frontiers Healthcare cashed in through emergency airport contracts riddled with opacity.

And the list, unfortunately, doesn’t end there.

Yet, in all this, the refrain was loud and proud: “We have the men.”

Indeed, you did. But you used them not to build, but to bulldoze trust.

By 2020, Ghanaians didn’t trust either side. So they forced balance. A hung Parliament. 137 to 137. A Speaker elected on the razor’s edge. That was not a fluke. It was a scream for reform. But what did the NPP do?

Rushed swearing-ins at midnight. Snatched ballots in Parliament. Weaponized the Judiciary into partisan gymnastics. EOCO, CID, BoG, NCA, etc. all converted into partisan bakeries. Parliament reduced to political theatre. The Chief Justice lost public confidence. The Attorney General behaved more like a party whip than a legal statesman. Dissenters were hunted.

From 2021 to 2024, these final four years were your undoing. And the people watched. Patiently. Silently. Boiling.

By the time 2024 arrived, the public mood wasn’t skeptical. It was surgical.

They voted not just to elect Mahama. They voted to evict the NPP. They didn’t just shift power. They revoked your license to govern. They rejected the NPP ruthlessly.

From the records. In 2016, you held 169 seats. In 2020, you dropped to 137, tying with the NDC. In 2024, you fell to 88 seats. That’s not a decline. That’s a collapse.

And yet, post-defeat, some of you walk with the arrogance of a victor. You behave like Ghana owes you another chance. As if your loss was an error in arithmetic not the loudest possible rebuke from a people you underestimated.

So, dear Minority, what now?

This is not your turn to shine. This is your time to repent, relearn, and rebuild. This is not the time for Jandam. It is the time to confess, reflect, and serve without arrogant superiority and entitlement.

You must not be an extension of your past failures. You must not be an echo of your former arrogance. You must become something the NPP has long forgotten how to be: humble.

Accept that you took Ghana’s silence for approval. You thought we were quiet because we were content. No. We were watching. And now we have spoken.

And if you still need further confirmation that your regime was corrupt beyond measure, just observe the aftermath: the NDC’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). It is not just a political statement. It is a criminal audit. A declaration that your era left behind a trail of theft so visible, so audacious, that a whole government has to now organize its priorities around retrieving what you illegally stashed. ORAL is not an NDC agenda. It is your legacy, staring back at you with handcuffs in its eyes.

So, as a minority of 88, this is your moment of redefinition. Be the conscience you once promised to be. Be the brake pedal to majority excess, not the jester in opposition.

Ghanaians don’t need noise. We need scrutiny. We don’t need headlines. We need help. We don’t need slogans. We need substance.

End the camps. End the infighting. End the internal sabotage. You are bleeding. The NPP is weary. And your moral rehabilitation must begin now.

A meaningful Minority doesn’t just oppose. It proposes. It doesn’t grandstand. It guards the republic. It doesn’t parade. It protects.

Ghana is not asking for angels. It is asking for honesty.

Start with this truth. You failed.
And if you can fail forward, if you can become the generation of NPP patriots that learned, evolved, and reemerged humble, you may just earn your place back at the table someday.

But until then, dear Minority:

Wɔn shout. Reflect.
The late Jandam is dead. Sober up.
And stop the Ahomasuo 24/7.
Support the 24-hour economy so we may all work, earn, and thrive together.
Above all, remember how you got here.

Because if you dont, Ghanaians won’t just write you off. We’ll rewrite you out.
