'God is not a rickety goat to let NPP come back to power' — Cape Coast Mayor on Ken Ofori-Atta

The Cape Coast Mayor, George Justice Arthur, has challenged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to consider bringing former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta back into its political fold as part of efforts to regain power in the 2028 general elections.

In an exclusive interview with Class FM's Elizabeth Aidoo, Mr Arthur questioned the opposition party's prospects of returning to government, arguing that it must first address its internal challenges and rebuild its structures.

He said the NPP needed to strengthen its organisation and restore public confidence if it hoped to improve its chances in the next general election.

The Mayor dismissed suggestions that the party could pull off an unexpected victory in 2028, insisting that it had considerable work to do to recover from its current political setbacks.

He also criticised the NPP's performance during its previous administration, accusing the party of mishandling several national issues.

Mr Arthur further expressed strong reservations about the possibility of the party returning to power, suggesting that its record in government made such an outcome unlikely.

“God is not a rickety goat to let NPP come back to power,” he said.

He maintained that the party should prioritise internal reorganisation and rebuilding its political fortunes rather than assume it could easily secure victory in 2028.
