The comments, shared on social media, have sparked heated reactions from political observers and rival party supporters.
In a post that quickly gained traction, Monah allegedly expressed his preference for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to select what he termed a "weak candidate" in their upcoming presidential primary, scheduled for January 31, 2026.
The statement suggested confidence in his ability to secure victory against a less formidable opponent in the next general election.
The remarks have drawn sharp criticism from various quarters, with many questioning the strategic wisdom of making such public declarations.
Social media users have challenged the PNC leader's assessment, with some pointing out the irony of waiting for opposition weakness rather than focusing on building his own party's strength and appeal to voters.
Political analysts suggest that such statements may backfire, as they could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in winning against strong opposition.
Critics have also noted that the PNC, traditionally a smaller party in Ghana's political landscape, faces its own organizational and resource challenges that may require more attention than opponent analysis.
The backlash highlights the delicate balance political leaders must maintain in public discourse.
While confidence is essential for any presidential candidate, observers argue that effective leadership messaging should emphasize one's own vision and capabilities rather than hoping for competitor vulnerabilities.
As the NPP prepares for its presidential primary tomorrow, the incident serves as a reminder of how quickly political statements can generate public debate in the age of social media.
Whether these comments will have any lasting impact on Monah's political standing or the PNC's fortunes remains to be seen, but they have certainly sparked conversation about electoral strategy and political messaging in Ghana's democratic space.
