Report on cause of NPP’s defeat will soon be ready – Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu

Former Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has indicated that the committee investigating the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the Ashanti region in the December 7 elections will soon present its report.

In the election, President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) secured a decisive win with over 6 million votes, compared to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 4 million votes.

The NDC also gained a parliamentary majority, unseating several NPP Members of Parliament. The NDC currently hold 183 seats compared to the NPP’s 88 seats.

Speaking to Citi News, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu assured that the committee’s findings would soon be ready.

“My own party, we performed, frankly speaking, rather badly, to be more blunt. We performed very poorly and abysmally. The party in Ashanti [region] put up a team to interrogate the circumstances that led to our crash.

“And I have been put in charge of it so I have been dealing with it. I guess in the next couple of weeks, we should be through with everything.”
