Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has opined that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is exceedingly desperate to secure power in the upcoming elections.
During an interview on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana with host Randy Abbey, Sam George emphasized his concerns about the party’s strategies, suggesting that the NPP does not have confidence in their presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), winning the election based solely on their merits.
He expressed worries about the NPP’s approach to capturing various state institutions to secure an electoral victory.
“My brother, Ablakwa, has been going on and on about state capture. You know the NPP is so desperate to win power. They don’t believe that Dr. Bawumia and Dr. Napo on their own strengths can win them power. They don’t believe it. They don’t believe it that the two of them together have what it takes to win NPP the elections. So they need to capture every aspect of the state. Even the media, you are at risk,” Sam George declared.
Meanwhile, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), who was recently confirmed as the running mate for the NPP by the party’s National Council on July 4, 2024, has pledged his full support to Dr. Bawumia.
In his acceptance speech, NAPO, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, committed to leading a strong campaign to ensure an NPP victory and break the 8-year governance cycle.
“As I assume the role of running mate alongside my esteemed boss, H.E. Dr. Bawumia, I am committed to supporting him to prosecute a formidable 2024 campaign to break the 8-year election cycle and serve our beloved country diligently. Let us work together towards a brighter future for Ghana,” NAPO stated.
