Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the chairman of the major opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said that discontent inside the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is driving its members to look for change in the elections scheduled for December.
The NDC Chairman went on to say that, in contrast to common opinion, a sizable portion of NPP supporters could cast ballots for NDC presidential candidate John Mahama in the next elections.
“I believe going into this election, if we are not careful, the NPP supporters who will vote for John Mahama will be more than those of us in the NDC. The NPP has effectively split into three factions,” he stated.
He claims that because of their growing disenchantment with the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration, more NPP followers than NDC faithful are prepared to vote against their party.
Speaking at the Kukurantumi Chiefs’ Palace in the Eastern Region’s Abuakwa North Constituency, the NDC Chairman emphasized what he called a profound rift among the NPP.
He said that the way the government has managed the nation’s resources has left many members of the ruling party angry and that this has led to general economic suffering.
“They are all blaming the NPP for the current woes in the country. They also know that not everybody in the NPP is causing the woes. It is just a few of them who have made themselves mafias and they have plunged the country into these woes and have overturned everything in our democracy,” he added.
