There has been roughly a month of introspection after the National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) defeat in the 2016 general elections, and the Member of Parliament for the Wa Central constituency, Rashid Pelpuo, believes Ghanaians may have taken John Mahama for granted.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians will regret, possibly, for throwing away a pearl like John Mahama\u201d, the legislator said in an interview with Citi News\u2019<\/strong> Richard Dela Sky minutes after the expiration of the sixth Parliament of Ghana\u2019s fourth Republic in the early hours of January 7.<\/p>\n

What followed was the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, taking the oath of office as President, after the seventh parliament had been sworn in.<\/p>\n

Nana Akufo-Addo rode on the back of 53.85 percent of the valid votes cast to become Ghana’s fifth President under the fourth Republic.<\/p>\n

President Mahama, who ran on the ticket of the governing \u00a0NDC, secured 44.40 percent of valid votes cast; the worst performance of a sitting President.<\/p>\n

We’ll police NPP government<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least four years in opposition as the Minority in Parliament awaits the NDC MPs, and Mr. Pelpuo assured that he and his fellow MPs \u201c will be working to ensure that we bring out the issues that will make for good governance in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Minister of Public-Private Partnerships added that\u00a0the Minority \u201cwill also make sure that we police the promises made to the people of Ghana and make sure that they are fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they are not fulfilled, we will question them and establish the truth that politicians can’t hoodwink and deceive people in order to gain power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Pelpuo was, however, quick to note that, his NDC did not sell empty promises to Ghanaians in the two terms of governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, of course, didn\u2019t do that. We made promises and we fulfilled them. We made promises of building infrastructure and closing the infrastructure gap; we have done that. We made promises of providing water, electricity, roads and bridges. We have done them. Let\u2019s see what they [the NPP] will also do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever happens, we know that in the end, we will come back to back to power,\u201d Mr. Pelpuo maintained.<\/p>\n
