Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) vice presidential candidate, has urged former President John Mahama to refrain from using harsh language against the government, expressing concern that such rhetoric could imply a reluctance to peacefully transfer power after the upcoming December 7 elections.
This statement came in response to Mahama’s comments about President Akufo-Addo’s remarks suggesting he might not hand over power to someone he has defeated twice.
Speaking at a rally in Effiduase, Ashanti Region, Dr. Prempeh described Mahama’s comments as unwarranted.
He reassured constituents that, regardless of the situation, President Akufo-Addo will fulfill his duty to hand over power at the end of his term.
Dr. Prempeh emphasized the importance of securing the Effiduase Asokore seat, which he believes will remain firmly in NPP hands under Nana Ayew Afriyie.
He called on party members to engage in vigorous campaigning to ensure a decisive victory for the NPP, appealing for robust support from local residents to drive the necessary developments in the area.
