His attempts to contest the 1996 presidential elections on the ticket of the centre-right New Patriotic Party were scuppered when the Supreme Court ruled to uphold a controversial law preventing individuals convicted of treasonous acts from holding public office, even if such acts were committed during periods of unconstitutional rule.
Following the Court's decision, he resigned from politics to focus on private activities within the realm of development economics.
Following an economic crisis in Ghana under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, he voiced his concerns about the direction of government activities in July 2023.
