Renowned Heart Surgeon Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng has identified a leadership gap in our governance structure, as he identifies the lack of transformational leadership in Ghana’s political landscape as a key factor contributing to the nation’s challenges.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng expressed this concern over the absence of the political will and transformational leadership needed at this challenging time, to drive Ghana’s development, 66 years after gaining independence
An onetime presidential aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has predicted a tough contest for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
The former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation said it will be difficult for the NPP to retain political power based on the party’s performance in the last seven years.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng said that the NPP “over-promised and under-delivered” on its promises to Ghanaians. Above all, this he thinks will make it difficult for the party to win the 2024 elections.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng also said that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) was not giving him any hope, suggesting that neither party is a good option for Ghana.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng indicated that he was optimistic the NPP was going to be in power for a long time considering how the NDC had mismanaged the country when Akufo-Addo took over in 2016 but it would turn out that he was wrong juxtaposing the two administrations
Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng acknowledged Ghana’s first Prime Minister and President, Kwame Nkrumah, as the country’s sole transformational leader adding that the dearth of such leaders in the years following Nkrumah’s leadership has contributed to Ghana’s current challenges.
He further proposed that there should be a change in the two political parties and how they do their things because there are very good people in the NDC same as the NPP who can work hard to bring economic prosperity to the challenging economy.
