The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to present what it calls the “True State of the Nation Address” on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

The move comes in response to President John Dramani Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered on February 27, 2025, which the NPP claims failed to address key national issues and misrepresented Ghana’s current state.

In a statement dated February 28, the NPP criticized the President’s speech, stating that it lacked a comprehensive and accurate assessment of Ghana’s economic and social challenges since Mahama assumed office on January 7, 2025.

The party highlighted several critical concerns that it claims were overlooked, including:

Deteriorating power supply Rising security challenges Increasing illegal mining activities A growing employment crisis

“In light of this, the NPP, through its leadership in Parliament, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, will present the True State of the Nation Address to offer Ghanaians a factual and objective account of the nation’s condition,” the statement read.

The “True State of the Nation Address” is expected to provide the NPP’s perspective on governance, economic performance, and national security under President Mahama’s administration.
