A former Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has downplayed the chances of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) winning the 2024 election.
The member of the NDC Manifesto Committee stated that the NPP, led by President Nana Akufo-Addo, has failed woefully to deliver on their promises.
In an interview on Adom TV’s Badwam, the former Minister for Youth and Sports argued that the NDC’s track record is far superior to that of the incumbent government.
He pointed out that under the Mahama-led administration, corruption figures were far lower than those seen under the Akufo-Addo government.
“The Afrobarometer and the Auditor General’s report have revealed that the worst corruption figure under the NDC was 43%. Akufo-Addo’s best is our worst, and every time, he keeps going down. That is why Akufo-Addo is called a ‘clearing agent’,” he said.
With barely 18 days to the December 7 election, Mr. Ankrah urged Ghanaians to stay vigilant. He cautioned against the “try me and see” campaign rhetoric, stating, “Akufo-Addo told us to ‘try me and see,’ which is very serious. We are going into another election, and Bawumia is telling us he has never been president, so we should try him and see.”
Mr. Ankrah concluded by insisting that the NPP has destroyed the economy and does not deserve to be retained in power.
