Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the former National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has labelled Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as a failure.
He criticised the Vice President for his attempts to distance himself from the poor economic mismanagement.
In an interview with ChannelOne TV with Umaru Sanda Amadu, Mr Ampofo rebuked Dr Bawumia for not meeting the expectations of salvaging the economy.
He drew a comparison between the Vice President and Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, the Leader of the Movement for Change, who is known for consistently presenting new ideas to gain power.
The former chairman added, “I have come because the call for change of this government has moved beyond partisanship to a national clarion call. The clarion call is more or less a national call to duty to ensure that this government which had brought so many economic hardships is voted out.”
“And I keep on asking myself, is Bawumia who he claims to be who he is? Because when he speaks on the campaign platform now, I ask whether he’s Alan Kyerematen, because he speaks as if Alan who has left the NPP and trying to come out with new ideas,” he noted.
“I wonder why a sitting Vice President would go and be making a certain statement and have forgotten his role as the chairman of the Economic Management Team. I heard him saying the reintroduction of the toll booths, you are part of this government?,’ he quarried.
According to him “As the Vice President, it is your government. You are an integral part and the number two most important person. When he was appointed, the president indicated he was bringing Dr Bawumia because of his economic prowess and credentials to come and salvage the economy. So, completely he’s a failure, he’s a failure.”
Mr. Ampofo urged Ghanaians to learn from the South African elections and vote out the current government.
The former NDC National Chairman expressed surprise at the silence over the country’s hardships.
He said Ghanaians should look at what has happened in South Africa over their election and take their decision that will chart a new path for the future of this country
“I believe that the NPP under President Akufo-Addo and Bawumia has taken this country for granted. And the silence of the voices we used to hear when NDC was in power is very surprising. But I believe that the ordinary Ghanaian will rise to the occasion and show that there’s a change of government,” he concluded.

The Ministry of Education says it will establish a Technical Working Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) after the current placement exercise.
The Ministry said the review follows a call by the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference for greater transparency, accountability and an eventual review of the system.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Ministry maintained that the CSSPS is fundamentally a merit-based system, with merit taking precedence over protocol in the placement of qualified candidates.
It explained that the system is designed to ensure that placement decisions are based on established criteria and that qualified students are treated fairly.
However, the Ministry acknowledged the need to continuously improve and strengthen the placement system.
According to it, the Technical Working Committee will examine the various components of the CSSPS, identify areas that require improvement and recommend measures to make the system more transparent and accountable.
The review will seek to ensure that the CSSPS remains credible, efficient, fair and responsive to the needs of students, parents and schools.
The Ministry further stressed that CSSPS placement is free and warned parents and candidates against paying money to secure a placement or have a placement changed.
It urged any parent or guardian with credible evidence that an official of the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, CSSPS Secretariat, Ghana Technical Vocational Education and Training or any third party is demanding money for placement services to report the matter to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
The Ministry assured that the identity of persons who report such cases will be protected.
The Education Ministry said it remains committed to protecting the integrity of the CSSPS and ensuring that merit, fairness and transparency remain central to the placement process.

The Northern Regional Commander of the GNFS, ACFO I Joseph Koranteng, led a delegation to formally accept the land and expressed appreciation to the Chief for his commitment to public safety.
The proposed fire station is expected to improve emergency response times and strengthen fire safety coverage as Jongshegu and surrounding communities continue to expand rapidly.
