The Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of engaging in ethnic politics and religious discrimination as part of their campaign for the general elections on December 7.
On Thursday, December 5, during the NPP’s final campaign event at the University of Ghana Sports Complex, Kodua asserted that the NDC’s campaign strategies were desperate since they thought they would lose the upcoming elections.
“The NDC has seen that the election we will be having on Saturday, they have lost. They are sensing their impending defeat and have now resorted to tribal politics and religious discrimination,” Mr Kodua stated.
The NDC, he said, was accused of bringing religion into politics, something that has never happened in Ghana’s election history.
“Since Ghana gained its independence in 1957 to now, we have never gone to the polls using religion as a basis for politics. We are all Ghanaians. Whether you are a Christian, whether you don’t attend church, whether you are a Muslim, what matters to us is your knowledge and capacity to govern the nation,” he added.
Mr Kodua further called for unity among Ghanaians, irrespective of their religious or tribal affiliations, and expressed confidence in the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“God has love for everyone, and He is everywhere. I can assure you that with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, we are going to have a dynamic president of the Republic,” he added.
At its final rally, which attracted thousands of supporters, the NPP concluded its campaign to win a mandate for continued governance.
