Fellow patriots of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),

Our silence is becoming louder than our voice, and that silence is dangerous.

At a time when the Ghanaian people are grappling with disappointment and broken promises under the government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), our party appears strangely quiet. This is not the spirit of a party that seeks to return to power. This is not the fighting tradition of the NPP.

Let us speak plainly and without apology.

The NDC came to power on the wings of bold promises and grand declarations. They promised a 24-hour economy that would transform livelihoods and create opportunities for millions. Today, that promise is nowhere to be seen. It has dissolved into empty rhetoric.

They promised automatic posting for teachers, raising the hopes of thousands of trained graduates across the country. Yet today many of those young professionals remain stranded, their dreams deferred.

They loudly pledged to take decisive action on the anti-LGBT legislation, assuring the Ghanaian people they would sign the document and enforce it. Yet since assuming office, that promise too has been buried in silence.

Meanwhile, fuel prices continue to rise, the cost of living continues to climb, and ordinary Ghanaians are feeling the crushing weight of economic hardship.

And yet—where is the thunderous voice of the NPP?

Our current posture resembles that of a child whose father has died but insists the father is merely sleeping. We cannot afford such denial. Politics does not reward sleep. Politics rewards vigilance, courage, and relentless engagement.

Let us not forget how the NDC behaved when they were in opposition. They did not whisper; they roared. They organized demonstrations. They flooded radio and television with their message. They magnified every weakness of our government and convinced many Ghanaians that the NPP was incompetent in managing the economy. They repeated their message until it became the dominant national narrative—and ultimately they rode that narrative into power.

Today the NDC is in government, and the very promises that carried them to victory are collapsing before the eyes of the nation.

Yet the opposition that should be exposing these failures appears hesitant.

This is deeply worrying.

We deliberately elected our flagbearer early so that the party could gain momentum, energize its base, and begin the long march toward victory in 2028. That strategic decision was meant to place the NPP ahead of the curve. But instead of building momentum, it feels as though we have gone into political hibernation after the presidential primaries.

This must change—and it must change now.

The NDC must not be allowed to enjoy a political holiday while governing Ghana. Every broken promise must be exposed. Every scandal must be interrogated. Every failure must be laid bare before the Ghanaian people.

If we remain silent, these issues will quietly fade away without scrutiny. They will die a natural political death while the NPP watches from the sidelines.

The NDC never afforded us such comfort.

They scrutinized our every move. They amplified our smallest mistakes. They relentlessly shaped public perception against us.

Now the reality of governance has caught up with them.

Look at the worsening crisis of galamsey. Look at the rising cost of fuel. Look at the growing frustration among unemployed graduates. Look at the unfulfilled promises that brought them to power.

These are not minor issues. These are the very foundations upon which the NDC built their campaign.

So why are we silent?

If we truly intend to return to power in 2028, then the struggle must begin now—not in the final year before elections. Victory is not won in a single season; it is built through sustained political engagement.

We must reclaim the airwaves.

We must energize our grassroots structures.

We must challenge the NDC government at every turn.

We must relentlessly expose the gap between their promises and their performance.

Opposition is not a ceremonial position. It is a battlefield of ideas, narratives, and accountability.

The NPP must awaken from this troubling silence.

Let our voices echo across every community, every radio station, every political platform. Let the Ghanaian people hear clearly that the NPP is alert, prepared, and ready to hold this government accountable.

The time for political slumber is over.

Arise, NPP.

Arise and fight the battle of accountability.

Arise and reclaim the national conversation.

Arise and prepare the path back to power in 2028.

 *The struggle begins now* .

Aputara.
