The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) shocking loss in the 2024 elections in the Ashanti Region, their traditional stronghold, can be attributed to unmet infrastructure promises and voter disillusionment.

Andy Appiah-Kubi, a former MP, highlighted the region's neglect, citing delayed projects like the unfinished interchange initiated by former President Kufuor.

Appiah-Kubi emphasized that the NPP's failure to deliver on development projects led to voter frustration and apathy.

The party's leadership appeared disconnected from the region's pressing needs, contributing to the loss of voter confidence.

This perceived neglect resulted in a "punitive response" from voters who felt abandoned by the party.

The Ashanti Region's shift away from the NPP marks a significant change in Ghana's political landscape.

The region's historical loyalty to the party made their loss of seats surprising.

Appiah-Kubi's comments underscore the need for the NPP to reassess their strategy and reconnect with voters' concerns to regain trust.
