Ayeh-Paye expressed disappointment over the party's failure to provide assistance in retaining his seat when they assumed power, highlighting that he financed his own campaign expenses, including fuel and vehicle maintenance, out of dedication to the party.

Reflecting on the party's history, Ayeh-Paye cited the example of the late Albert Adu Boahen, a founding father of the NPP, who allegedly received no party position and passed away with no personal wealth after investing heavily in the party's development.

Despite feeling undervalued, Ayeh-Paye criticized independent candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi for contesting in the recent Ejisu by-election, particularly considering his role as Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways. He questioned Aduomi's decision, highlighting missed opportunities for project lobbying and contractor payments due to his ministerial position.
