According to Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, supporters should select candidates based on their qualifications rather than their religious beliefs.
Dr. Prempeh believes that the ability to provide the people with the prosperity they need should be the primary factor in an election.
Speaking on various platforms during a meeting with artisans and NPP delegates from the Manhyia South constituency on Friday, October 27, 2023, he stated that since all religions have coexisted peacefully in Ghana for a considerable amount of time, it is risky for anyone to use religion as a political wedge in any election, whether it be a national election or an internal party election.
“I, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, I was named after a Muslim and the Regional Chief Imam of the Ashanti Region is my brother. What this should tell you is that, in my family some are Christians and some are Muslims. This situation is also existent in a lot of families.
It is therefore unacceptable to create partitions and divisions on religious lines” he said The Manhyia South law maker said, members of the NPP must be proud of the achievements of the government over the past 7 years and be resolute in canvassing for the party.
“The unfortunate global happenings have made governments across the world unpopular, however the record will show that we have performed better even under these circumstances” he said.
He expressed confidence that the NPP would win the elections scheduled for December 2024 and said that the party has managed the economy more skillfully than the NDC under John Mahama.
In order for the NPP to win easily in 2024, Dr. Prempeh asked Manhyia South delegates to peacefully use their right to vote on November 4, 2023.
