President John Mahama’s upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27, has sparked calls from New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmakers for a frank assessment of the country's condition.

With this being his first SONA since beginning his second term in January, expectations are high for an address that reflects the true state of affairs.

During a media engagement in Parliament, NPP MPs stressed the importance of transparency on pressing national issues, particularly unemployment, economic struggles, and the ongoing power crisis.

Lawmakers including Akwasi Konadu (Manhyia North), Kofi Amankwah Manu (Atwima Kwanwoma), and Collins Adomako Mensah (Afigya Kwabre North) insisted that Ghanaians deserve a candid evaluation of the country’s situation.

They urged President Mahama to provide a clear and honest account of the nation’s status as he embarks on his second term.

Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) remains confident that the address will offer hope and a roadmap for national progress.

Sebastian Deh (Kpando) and Lawrencia Dziwornu (Akuapem South) expressed optimism that President Mahama will use the platform to outline a comprehensive vision for Ghana’s future.
