Alan Kyerematen, a prospective New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, is aware of how the economic crisis has affected the party.
He claims that despite the fact that the current administration is making an effort, the economic situation is making it difficult for the party to develop a message in time for the general elections in 2024.
He acknowledged that the NPP would find it challenging to persuade Ghanaians to support them in the upcoming elections given the weak status of the country’s economy.
“President Akufo-Addo has done well, when the NPP came, there was no Free SHS, but we have brought it. We have also implemented the Planting For Food And Jobs, One District, One Factory, and a number of the policies, but we all know that times are hard.
“We are all in difficulty, we have worked hard but due to the economic hardship, our key message for campaigning as a party for the 2024 election has become difficult for us,” he said.
Speaking to the Sefwi Wiaso Traditional Council, Mr. Kyerematen blamed the current problem on succeeding governments abandoning their predecessors’ initiatives.
“You see, one of our main challenges as a country is how successive governments abandon policies they inherit from another government. This is what has derailed our development efforts.
“So I would wish that for the first time in the history of the country, allow the NPP to continue, so our policies can gain roots while we do away with the bad policies. If we mean well for the country, this is what must happen,” Mr Kyerematen said.
