Comedian OB Amponsah Regrets Voting for Nana Akufo-Addo as Ghanaians Reflect on Election Outcome
Popular Ghanaian comedian OB Amponsah has openly expressed regret over his decision to vote for President Nana Akufo-Addo in past elections. Reflecting on the outcome of the 2024 General Elections, which saw John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) return to power, OB shared his sentiments during an interview with DJ Slim.
OB Amponsah revealed that he had consistently supported the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in four different elections, including voting for Nana Akufo-Addo. However, he now feels disappointed in the leadership of the outgoing president and regrets his choices.
“Looking back, I regret voting for Nana Addo. I believed in the promises, but the reality has been different,” OB candidly shared. According to him, the announcement of Mahama’s victory brought a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off the shoulders of the nation.
The comedian’s remarks come amid a wave of public discourse on the perceived shortcomings of the Nana Akufo-Addo government. Many Ghanaians have taken the opportunity to reflect on the administration’s legacy, expressing frustration over economic challenges, corruption scandals, and unmet expectations.
During the interview, DJ Slim, who hosted the conversation, echoed OB’s sentiments, noting that there seemed to be a renewed sense of optimism following the NDC’s electoral victory. “It feels like there’s fresh air in the system. People are starting to speak out more freely,” DJ Slim remarked.
The change in government has stirred mixed emotions across the nation. While supporters of the NDC celebrate their return to power, many citizens are using the transition period to voice their discontent with the outgoing administration. Issues such as economic mismanagement, rising inflation, and corruption have been central to these discussions.
OB Amponsah’s candid reflections resonate with many Ghanaians who feel let down by the promises made by the NPP. His comments have sparked conversations about the importance of holding leaders accountable and the role of voters in shaping the country’s future.
As the country prepares for a new chapter under John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, the sentiments shared by OB and others highlight a collective hope for better governance and a renewed focus on addressing the challenges facing the nation.
