Kwame Pianim is an NPP stalwart
Renowned statesman and New Patriotic Party (NPP) elder, Kwame Pianim, has said President John Dramani Mahama is currently the only leader capable of setting the country on the right path.
Explaining his position, Pianim stated that President Mahama is the most experienced individual when it comes to identifying the country’s problems and addressing them, drawing from his extensive public service journey, from assemblyman to the highest office of the land.

“The president has the historic opportunity to set this country right. He is the only person who can set this country right. I say it and people misinterpret me. He has been a district assemblyman, an MP, a deputy minister, a minister, a vice president, been a president and he’s come back as a president. He knows all the tricks of Ghanaians. He knows all the problems,” he said in an interview with TV3’s Beatrice Adu.
Pianim further intimated that with the president’s rich expertise, he can lead the country toward the path citizens are yearning for and set an exemplary leadership style that would impact future generations.
He added that the president could also help reform the nature of politics in Ghana — particularly its monetisation.
“He is the only person who doesn’t need me or the voters for an election. He doesn’t need his political party. He’s not going to run again because he has only one term. He is the only Ghanaian out of the 35 million of us who can set the agenda so that the country takes another path. A path that will give hope and trust to the young people who are coming, makes people loyal and stop people going into politics, because they just want to get rich,” he said.

He added, “He is the only person. Nobody else who comes in has just four years, can run again and therefore you need your political party. You need the voters. He doesn’t need the voters again; he doesn’t need the political party. He is the only one who has this unique historical opportunity to set the agenda for Ghana.”
