The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it will present its version of the “True State of the Nation Address” on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

This comes in reaction to President John Dramani Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 27, 2025, which, according to the NPP, failed to provide a comprehensive and accurate reflection of Ghana’s current challenges.

In a statement dated February 28, the party accused the President of presenting an incomplete assessment of the nation’s condition since assuming office on January 7, 2025.

The NPP pointed out that key national concerns—including erratic power supply, rising insecurity, illegal mining, and growing unemployment—were not adequately addressed in Mahama’s speech.

To fill these gaps, the NPP’s parliamentary leadership, under Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has decided to present its own assessment, which it claims will give Ghanaians a more transparent and realistic picture of the country’s state.
