The National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) general secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has voiced optimism about his party’s prospects of winning control in the 2024 elections.
During an interview with Joy News on November 23, 2023, Kwetey ascribed the optimism of the NDC on Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s “damaged candidacy.” Bawumia is the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Kwetey said that Bawumia had not lived up to the hype that surrounded his first political venture, especially when it came to economic matters.
“Congratulations to him [Dr Bawumia] for emerging as a flagbearer of the NPP. We in the NDC welcome it because we are not being complacent but we are totally sure that we are facing a damaged candidate.
“A candidate that has been exposed for who he is. A candidate who made all kinds of pretence created the impression that he was some kind of economic messiah, but the reality today as the Bible will call it, he has been found wanting. He has been weighted in the balances and found wanting completely,” According to a quote from him on myjoyonline.com.
Furthermore, Dr. Bawumia was charged by Kwetey with being untrustworthy and lacking credibility.
The general secretary of the NDC argued that the vice president’s candidacy was exposed by the recent NPP presidential primary results, in which Bawumia received 61.43% of the vote versus Kennedy Agyapong, the MP for Assin North, who received 37.41%.
“The margin by which the Vice President polled to emerge as victor was slim, thereby proving our point that the NDC has the upper hand come 2024,” the NDC General Secretary stated.
