NDC’s Hidden Agenda: Terrible Power Outages In Ashanti Region Aimed At Collapsing Asante Businesses

The recent power outages in Kumasi and the Ashanti Region have raised concerns about a possible hidden agenda.

He alleges that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government is deliberately sabotaging Asante businesses due to their perceived financial support for the NPP.

Businesses in key commercial hubs like Kejetia, Adum, and Suame have been severely impacted, with traders, manufacturers, and small business owners suffering significant losses. The lack of explanation from power authorities has fueled suspicions about the intent behind these targeted outages.

It’s worth noting that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reported a fault on the Bekwai Ghana Water Feeder, which may have contributed to the power outages.

However, the frequency and severity of these outages have raised concerns about a larger political agenda.

The NPP Deputy Protocol Director is calling for transparency from the ECG and Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) regarding the true cause of these power outages.

He also urging President Mahama and the Energy Ministry to take immediate action to restore stable electricity to the region.

NDC’s Hidden Agenda: Terrible Power Outages in Ashanti Region Aimed at Collapsing Asante Businesses

By Kwabena Frimpong

Deputy Protocol Director, NPP

The recent wave of persistent power outages in Kumasi and the greater Ashanti Region is not a mere coincidence. It is a calculated attempt by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government to cripple Asante businesses, knowing very well that the region remains the economic backbone of Ghana and a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

For weeks, businesses in Kejetia, Adum, Suame, and other key commercial hubs have been brought to their knees due to massive erratic electricity supply in the region. Traders, manufacturers, and small business owners have suffered massive losses, with little to no explanation from the power authorities. While other parts of the country face intermittent blackouts, the Ashanti Region has borne the brunt of this crisis, raising serious questions about the intent behind these targeted outages.

There is growing suspicion that the NDC is behind this crisis, deliberately sabotaging Asante businesses due to their perceived financial support for the NPP. The opposition has long sought to weaken our region’s economic dominance, knowing that a strong Ashanti Region translates to a strong NPP. By crippling local businesses, they aim to create economic hardship, frustrate traders, and turn them poor .

We cannot sit idly by while the livelihoods of hardworking Ashanti businesses are destroyed by political sabotage. The NDC government must be called out for this economic warfare against the people of Ashanti. This is not just about power supply—it is about a deliberate strategy to destabilize the region’s economy and weaken our political influence.

We demand transparency from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) regarding the true cause of these power outages. More importantly, we call on all Asantes and business owners to stand firm against this political oppression.

The Ashanti Region has always been the pillar of Ghana’s progress, and no amount of sabotage will break our resolve. We urge President Mahama and the Energy Ministry to take immediate action to restore stable electricity to our people and expose those behind this grand agenda to cripple our economy.

The people of Ashanti will not be intimidated. We will continue to stand strong, defend our businesses, and resist any attempt by the NDC to collapse our economy for political gain.
