  "summary": "Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the 2024 Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for an evidence-based reassessment of the administration of Professor Kofi Abrefa Busia. He argued that Ghana’s Second Republic should be evaluated based on its constitutional philosophy, policy choices, development record, shortcomings, and the historical conditions under which it governed. Dr Prempeh made these remarks during the 2026 Busia Institute Lecture held in the UK, which examined the historical development and contemporary relevance of centre-right political thought in Ghana.",
