Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate and member of parliament for Assin Central, has asked the party’s membership to organise and plan well in order to gain the support of Ghanaians during the general elections in 2024.
The legislator emphasized that, in the end, the NPP will provide the electorate a choice to make a better and more informed decision if it gets its house in order.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), the opposition party, would “be worse and scarier to the prospects of the country,” he continued, thus the NPP could not afford to cede political power to them.
He insisted that the NDC’s new crop of leaders—in particular, Asiedu Nketiah, the party chairman, and Fiifi Kwetey, the general secretary—signals that the opposition party is prepared to use defamation and misinformation in its 2024 election campaign.
In order to deceive Ghanaians into thinking that members of the then-ruling government were misusing public funds for their own benefit, Mr. Agyapong recalled how these same individuals had created documents and placed money in fictitious bank accounts for him and other NPP leaders prior to the 2008 general election.
Although the rumors were incorrect, he claimed that many Ghanaians still bought into them, which negatively impacted the NPP’s electoral prospects.
Thus, he has advised the NPP to develop plans to refute any such accusations if the NDC makes them.
