KSM has revisited his pre-election prediction about the political climate, arguing that the electoral outcome reflected widespread dissatisfaction rather than party entitlements.
Speaking on KSM UNFILTERED as monitored by MyNewsGh, he said he initially thought the governing party (the New Patriotic Party -NPP) at that time would “break the eight” based on the confidence of its campaign machinery.
According to him, his perception changed only months before the elections when deeper public sentiments became clearer.
“I could listen, I could read, I could see, and I could read beyond the façade,” he explained. “If you didn’t pay attention to the quiet rumbling, you’d think they were going to win.”
KSM referenced an interview he conducted with John Dramani Mahama while he was still in opposition.
“I asked him, ‘What if they break the eight?’ and he said, ‘They’ll break the eight all right, eight years of corruption, eight years of arrogance, eight years of impunity.’”
He added that Ghana’s political culture often assumes that every government is “entitled” to eight years, a mentality he believes must be reassessed.
“There’ll be a breaking of the eight, but it will be eight years of corruption that Ghanaians will break,” he insisted.
