Ghana’s political rivalry has a new talking point. The photography duo TwinsDntBeg (Emmanuel and Samuel Appiah Gyan) have delivered a sharp critique of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), arguing that the party has made no meaningful positive difference to everyday Ghanaians, especially compared with what the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has achieved.
The twins spoke on ATUU on United Television with Nana Romeo, where they gave their verdict on how the two parties have served the country over the years. In their view, the NDC’s contribution to national development simply does not match the NPP’s.
They argued that a close look at both parties’ records and policies would show the NPP deserves greater credit for improving the lives of Ghanaians.
It is worth remembering that TwinsDntBeg are well-known NPP supporters, so their comments are best read as a partisan opinion rather than a neutral assessment.
The comments are likely to trigger plenty of discussion, especially among loyalists of the two dominant parties, who have long defended their governments’ records with equal vigour.
Reactions are easy to predict:
- NPP supporters may welcome the assessment as confirmation of what they already believe.
- NDC sympathisers are likely to push back, pointing to projects and policies delivered under their own administrations.
The NDC and NPP have shaped Ghana’s political history more than any other forces. Each has had its turn in government, with the chance to implement policy in areas such as:
- Education
- Healthcare
- Infrastructure
- Economic management
- Social protection
That shared history is why any claim that one side has outperformed the other tends to be contested so fiercely.

Beneath the noise sits a simple but important question: which of the country’s two major parties has done more to improve the living conditions of ordinary citizens?
For many Ghanaians, the answer will not come only from political arguments or party loyalty. It will rest on what they feel in daily life: jobs, the cost of living, the quality of education and healthcare, and access to economic opportunities.
TwinsDntBeg’s remarks add fuel to an argument that rarely goes quiet in Ghana. Whether or not their view persuades anyone, it has put the question of party performance back in the spotlight. The most convincing answer will ultimately be the one measured in real improvements to people’s lives.
