Accra, Ghana - 01 March, 2025 - Ghana's opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to deliver a rival state of the nation address, dubbed the "True State of the Nation Address" on March 5, in response to President John Dramani Mahama's recent address.

The NPP in a statement, accused President Mahama of presenting a misleading picture of Ghana's current state, omitting critical national issues such as the country's deteriorating power supply, rising security challenges, and growing employment crisis.

In response, the opposition party has vowed to present a factual and objective account of the nation's condition, which it claims will be a more accurate reflection of the challenges facing Ghana.

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