Political discussions in Ghana have intensified regarding the strategic outlook for the 2028 elections. Early assessments focused on the long-term consequences of the upcoming vote, with former New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary John Boadu warning that an electoral loss could disadvantage the party in 2032. Observers noted that while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) currently holds an advantage, the election is “NDC’s to lose” if they fail to address public concerns regarding governance, food programs, and recruitment. As the political discourse progressed, representatives from both major parties began exchanging critiques of their respective governance records. NPP aspirants have positioned the party as a superior choice for infrastructure and development, specifically criticizing the NDC’s handling of the economy and illegal mining. In response, NDC officials have defended their administration by highlighting transparency in security agency recruitment, contrasting their methods with what they characterize as partisan practices under previous NPP leadership. More recently, NPP campaigning has intensified. Aspirant for the NPP National Organiser position, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover, has urged party members to unite behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2028 elections, emphasizing development and economic management as key differentiators. The NPP has also defended its record on rural telephony, citing the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion Project as evidence of expanded connectivity. Meanwhile, internal party dynamics remain a focus, with General Secretary hopeful Sylvester Tetteh warning that public endorsements do not guarantee victory in upcoming executive elections. Additionally, NPP member Kofi Tonto has criticized the NDC administration over challenges with the 2026 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
