A Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante has said that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) knows that the 2024 general elections will not be an easy one.
This is something they have known a while, he said.
He explained that the NPP is going into the election on the back of several promises they made earlier with some fulfilled and others not fulfilled.
Also, he said, apathy is staring the party in their faces.
“They know they have a difficult situation but I am sure they know how to overcome it,” Dr Asah-Asante said on TV3 Sunday, August 18 while contributing to a discussion on the 2024 manifesto launch of the NPP.
For his part, Akim Abuakwa South Member of Parliament, Samuel Atta-Akyea said any idea and programme that addresses poverty in Ghana always emerge from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He cited the free senior high school policy as an example of the programmes that are empowering the people of Ghana for the next twenty years.
Atta Akyea said that the 2024 manifesto document of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will catalog programmes and ideas that will lift the country out of the current challenges.
He says that the content of the NPP manifesto document shows that the future of Ghana rests with the flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, not the opposition leader John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking to journalists in Takordi where the manifesto of the NPP is being launched on Sunday, August 18, Atta Akyea said “Anything of consequence that will bound rope poverty always comes from the NPP.
“So you are going to see another level of a serious issue and the blueprint that we will depend on so that we come out of our economic difficulties
“The free SHS came from the NPP and that is the paradigm shift in trying to empower the nation for even the next twenty years.
“So very critical ideas will evolve out of this manifesto but what is important is that after the manifesto launch, we should all see the future of this country is not with the recycle Mahama, but is with Dr Bawumia.”
