Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to overhaul its leadership following the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking on TV3’s The Key Points on May 31, 2025, Prof Gyampo said the NPP’s return to government is contingent upon a complete transformation of its leadership and political conduct.

He accused the former administration of displaying arrogance and incompetence, particularly in its handling of illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) and the country’s power challenges.

“The intervention to keep Ghana switched on is ongoing. If they don’t repent or come up with a new crop of leaders, they don’t fit to govern even a village,” he indicated.

The NPP lost both the presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7, 2024.

Since taking office, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, led by President John Dramani Mahama, has taken steps to stabilize the Ghanaian economy.

Measures implemented by the new administration have reportedly led to the appreciation of the cedi against major foreign currencies and introduced initiatives aimed at tackling the galamsey menace.
