Ministers of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have received advice from Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), advising them to begin gathering their handing-over notes in anticipation of their impending resignation.
The people no longer trust the current administration, according to the NDC National Chairman during a press conference at the party’s headquarters on January 8, 2024.
He made it clear that efforts to undermine the goals of defenseless civilians fighting for their rights would ultimately be ineffective.
“They will fail because no power can defeat an organized and determined people struggling for their freedom. Truth is, Ghanaians have already abandoned the NPP and their followers. Therefore, the NPP ministers must begin preparing their handing over notes.”
At a press conference for the most recent episode of NDC Speaks, he clarified that this was demonstrated by the results of the district-level elections that were just completed, in which the majority of the NPP-affiliated unit committee members were voted out of office.
According to Mr Nketia this was a sign of the citizen’s determination to replace the government, adding that a similar outcome will be replicated in the December 2024 election.
He continued by citing the most recent District Assembly elections as evidence of the party’s waning support.
“Thousands of persons affiliated to the NPP have lost the district-level election miserably. The elections are non-partisan. it is illegal for any political party to seek to sponsor any candidate but the identity of the candidates and participants are known,” he said.
According to a recent compilation by the NDC, he claimed, most people with ties to the NDC were elected despite the fact that the election is nonpartisan.
“Ashanti and Eastern regions were also very impressive for the NDC compared to 2019 performance. Presently, even though the Electoral Commission unexpectedly postponed voting in some electoral areas in these two stronghold regions of the ruling NPP, NDC members and affiliates secured 34.13% and 45.52% of the electoral areas in Ashanti and Eastern regions respectively.”
“Serious political watchers and analysts know this is another evidence when a government is on its way out of office,” Asiedu Nketiah said.
