The Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, has affirmed the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) commitment to garnering increased votes from the Ashanti region in the upcoming 2024 elections.
This strategic move aims to potentially disrupt the recurring 8-year electoral pattern between the NPP and the opposition National Democratic Congress.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Ashanti Region NPP campaign team, Osei-Opare highlighted the party’s cohesion and emphasized the solid backing from its members in the region, historically recognized as the NPP’s stronghold.
“The love for the party is so supreme that people were willing to come together to put Ashanti forward and become the biggest contributors to breaking the 8. They will give us the numbers, it is possible, we will break the 8,” 3news.com quoted her to have said.
Echoing the sentiments expressed by Osei-Opare, Dan Kwaku Botwe, the Campaign Chairman of the NPP for the 2024 general elections, reiterated the party’s solidarity and preparedness.
Botwe provided reassurance that the choice of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running mate would be a collective endeavor, with consultations slated to take place with the National Council of the NPP.
“We are not divided at all, we have had successful polling station elections, successful electoral elections, successful constituency elections, successful regional elections, successful national elections, and successful presidential elections.
“We are united and we will do it at the right time. We have done it before in 1992, 96, 2000, 2008, we did it, so it is not an issue at all,” he said.
