Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, Collins Adomako-Mensah, has stated that while Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was a great and visionary leader, declaring Ghana a one-party state was wrong.

Speaking during a discussion with Kwesi Pratt, the MP said his opposition to the one-party system is rooted in democratic principles.

"As a democrat, I am not for a one-party state," he said on Metro TV's Ghana monitored by MyNewsGh, describing it as his fundamental disagreement with Nkrumah's leadership.

Adomako Mensah argued that a one-party arrangement limits political alternatives and restricts freedom of expression.

He maintained that even if Nkrumah was popular at the time, popularity alone did not justify eliminating political competition.

"If the constitution says the president serves five years, but only one party can rule, then even if he leaves, the next president will still come from the same party," he explained.

However, the MP was emphatic that rejecting the one-party system does not diminish Nkrumah's legacy.

"He was great. There's nothing wrong with saying that," he said, pointing to his recognition as African of the Millennium by the African Union.
