Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has taken a swipe at some New Patriotic Party (NPP) members for misrepresenting the party’s electoral performance in the 2024 general elections.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, February 8, Nkansah criticized individuals within the party for quoting an incorrect 38% as the NPP’s vote share, despite official Electoral Commission (EC) results indicating that the party secured 41.75% (rounded to 42%).

According to him, some NPP members were deliberately using the lower figure to serve their personal interests.

“If you will reduce your own Party’s percentage or use NDC propaganda figure because you want another person as flagbearer, then you are obviously not a ‘correct’ Party person,” he stated.

Nkansah further accused these individuals of undermining the party’s achievements and giving political ammunition to the opposition for their own agenda.

He also called out the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for exaggerating their own results, stating that while the opposition has been touting a 57% victory, the EC’s official figure for the NDC was 56.42%—a number that, mathematically, does not round up to 57%.

“NDC has been using 57% meanwhile you can’t round up 56.42 to 57,” he pointed out, arguing that such claims were part of a propaganda strategy.

Amid the ongoing debate over the election outcome, Nkansah urged NPP members to rely on verified figures and avoid spreading misinformation that could weaken party unity.

“We must be truthful with our own numbers and not fall for misinformation,” he concluded.
