President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana, University of Ghana chapter, Prof Ransford Gyampo, has emphasized that the Labour Union will cast their votes in the 2024 polls driven by hunger and anger.
In an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story on Monday, January 15, he underscored the importance of meeting labor conditions of service regardless of the election outcome.
“It must be noted that in the upcoming 2024 elections, Labour would vote with hunger and anger. Anybody who benefits from the hunger and anger votes of Labour must necessarily do something to mitigate the hunger and anger of Labour no matter how small they may be,” Prof Gyampo said.
In response to former President John Mahama’s appeal for a grace period upon regaining power, Prof Ransford Gyampo, the senior political science lecturer at the University of Ghana and President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana, outlined certain conditions that the government must fulfill before the Labour Union considers granting such a honeymoon period.
“Leaving by example here, I am talking about the fact that you wouldn’t ask Labour to tighten their belts whilst you your appointees would be leaving in opulence as we keep seeing now,” he explained.
