A leading Member of the United Party (UP), Hopeson Adorye has predicted the total collapse of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) before the next general elections in 2028.
While interacting with journalists in Accra, the former member of the party outlined his views on the current political direction and that of the United Party.
He argued that the NPP lacks the positive mindset needed to drive genuine national growth and sustainable development for Ghanaians. According to him, the party has reached the end of its political life cycle due to poor leadership and unfulfilled promises to the public.
The political activist further stated that the United Party emerged from the foundations of the NPP as a necessary alternative for the country. He claimed that the internal structures of his former party are failing to meet the expectations of today’s Ghanaian voter.
He insisted that the NPP would lose four consecutive national elections due to growing dissatisfaction among voters across all sixteen regions. He added that the party would eventually fade into political irrelevance, similar to what he described as the decline of the Convention People’s Party in past decade.
Adorye also alleged that the current leadership has treated loyal members unfairly while prioritizing personal interests over national development. He noted that older politicians would eventually exit the scene, leaving the youth to deal with the consequences of what he described as mismanagement.
He maintained that the United Party would eventually assume national leadership and help build a more resilient and prosperous economy. He urged young people to think critically about their future instead of supporting a political organization he claims lacks long-term vision.
He also stated that the presidency of Nana Akuffo Addo had caused significant harm to the country during its tenure. He challenged young people to critically assess the current economic situation ahead of the next election cycle.
“Therefore, Ghanaian youth, support this. There should be no occasion in the next 30 years where we give the NPP the opportunity to come close to power. I say this with great passion.”
Adorye highlighted his background as a teacher for 20 years, saying it reflects his long-standing commitment to youth development. He added that, as he approaches senior citizenship, he feels a moral duty to speak honestly about the country’s political condition.
He warned that continued support for the NPP could jeopardize future prosperity in exchange for short-term political loyalty. According to him, the United Party represents the original political tradition, while the current NPP has moved away from its founding principles.
He concluded by predicting that the NPP would not remain a dominant force in Ghanaian politics after the 2028 elections and called for a long period of reflection and restructuring within the political system.
Hopeson Adorye reiterated his call for a positive outlook toward the United Party, arguing that it is necessary to prevent what he describes as the country’s continued decline. He said some of his former colleagues in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are not fully acknowledging the severity of the challenges facing ordinary citizens.
He described the NPP as a weakening political entity that is increasingly unable to address Ghana’s core national problems. According to him, the failure to confront these issues meaningfully places the future of young people at risk.
Adorye argued that the United Party presents a more credible vision built on integrity and long-term national interest. He emphasized that his loyalty to the country now outweighs any attachment to his former political affiliation.
He also criticized what he described as a poor attitude toward governance within the ruling party, adding that voters are likely to respond negatively at the polls.
He warned that the NPP risks becoming politically irrelevant if it fails to reform its approach to governance and public service. He added that young people should prioritize their future rather than focus on sustaining political loyalty to a struggling party.
Adorye concluded by reaffirming his support for the United Party and its agenda for political and economic transformation. He expressed confidence that ongoing developments will confirm his prediction of continued decline for the NPP, while urging citizens to support what he described as a more forward-looking alternative.
