The New Patriotic Party’s Vice Presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), has criticized the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration for the country’s current issues.
Speaking at a mini rally at the Effiakuma Police Park in anticipation of the party’s 2024 manifesto launch on Sunday, Dr. Opoku Prempeh condemned the NDC as a relic of the past and positioned the NPP as the party of the future.
He asserted that the NPP is poised to rescue Ghanaians from the problems left by the NDC.
“Don’t vote based on hardship alone. If the current challenges had occurred under NDC’s leadership, I assure you it would have been even more severe.
“During his presidency, without the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war, he threatened to withhold salaries from teachers and nurses. So, I ask, what would he do in today’s circumstances?”
Several other party leaders and parliamentary candidates also addressed the crowd, underscoring the NPP’s accomplishments and the importance of a decisive victory.
Kennedy Agyapong encouraged unity within the party despite personal frustrations, urging supporters to set aside grievances for the sake of the party’s success.
“I understand the bitterness and frustration that many of you feel, but I can confidently say that I’m the most frustrated person among all. However, we’ve put our differences aside for the love of the party.
The Member of Parliament for Essikado-Ketan, Joe Ghartey, called on Ghanaians to support the vision of Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Opoku Prempeh.
The NPP’s manifesto launch is set for Sunday.
