Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi, has claimed that \u201cthe establishment\u201d within his own party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), actively worked against him.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He made this revelation during discussion on <a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Key Points<\/a> with Alfred Ocansey on Saturday, December 14, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe establishment worked against me,\u201d Appiah-Kubi asserted, lamenting the challenges he faced within the party\u2019s structures.<\/p>\n<p>His comments come in the wake of the NPP\u2019s defeat in the 2024 general elections, which saw the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regain power by over <a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/elections\/parliamentary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.6 million votes and also winning 185 parliamentary seats<\/a>, so far.<\/p>\n<p>Appiah-Kubi\u2019s statement adds to ongoing discussions about the internal divisions and alleged favoritism that have plagued the NPP, contributing to its loss at the polls on December 7.<\/p>\n<p>These grievances reflect broader concerns about party unity and inclusivity, with many members reportedly sidelined by influential factions.<\/p>\n<p>This claim follows his earlier remarks on the same platform, where he argued that Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta was more powerful than President Nana Akufo-Addo while he was in office.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these statements paint a picture of a party struggling with internal power dynamics and governance challenges.<\/p>\n<p>As the NPP begins its post-election reflections, Appiah-Kubi\u2019s comments highlight the need for introspection and reform within the party to regain the trust of its members and the Ghanaian electorate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Read also:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"JpjYadWM41\">\n<p><a
