The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to begin preparing its handover notes, predicting a decisive victory for the NDC in the 2024 election.
According to him, there are clear signs that Ghanaians will vote against the NPP in the 2024 elections.
During a press conference in Accra on Monday, January 8, Mr. Nketia stated that “they will fail because no power can defeat an organized and determined people struggling for their freedom. The truth is, Ghanaians have already abandoned the NPP and their followers. Therefore, the NPP ministers must begin preparing their handover notes.”
He stressed that “already, thousands of people affiliated with the NPP have lost the district-level elections. Yes, NPP people have miserably lost the Assembly and Unit Committee elections to members, supporters, and affiliates of the NDC.”
“Ashanti and Eastern regions were also very impressive for the NDC compared to the 2019 performance. Presently, even though the Electoral Commission unexpectedly postponed voting in some electoral areas in these two stronghold regions of the ruling NPP, NDC members and affiliates secured 34.13% and 45.52% of the electoral areas in Ashanti and Eastern regions, respectively.” Mr. Nkestiah added
But in reaction to what he propounded, the Director of Communication of the NPP, Richard Ahiagbah, indicated that winning the 2024 polls is about programs and policies and not subtle ‘threats of violence’ and ‘vain’ innuendos.
He added that the 2024 general elections would be based on which candidate has the better policies and programs to steer the affairs of the country.
According to him, the flagbearer of the NPP, who is the current Vice President in the person of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is the next potential candidate to lead the country ‘with humility, capacity, and the fear of the almighty to turn the fortunes of Ghana’s economy for the betterment of all Ghanaians’.
