The Citizen Watch has predicted a ‘One Touch’ victory for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December polls.
The convener of group, Mr. Richard Danso, noted that, the Akufo-Addo led NPP government has performed massively well to have their mandate renewed by the Ghanaian people.
He noted, “The Citizen Watch is very optimistic that the Nana Addo-led government would win hands down with 55.8 percent of the total votes cast based on the positive policy interventions it has introduced for the past three and half years,”
“The Nana Addo administration has truly performed in all sectors of the economy, be it education, health, infrastructure, industrialization among others. This is a mark of a good leader,” he added.
The group further predicted that, the National Democratic Congress, (NDC), led by ex-President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama and Ghana Union Movement would not get less than 41.6 percent and 2.8 percent respectively of the total votes that would be cast on December 7, 2020.
The group noted that, their predictions were on the back of the fact that, Ghanaians feel that the ex-President, John Mahama could not be trusted with his promises because he failed to meet their expectations in 2016 which led to his lost.
“How can Ghanaians vote for someone that they don’t have trust and confidence in his administration?” Mr. Danso quizzed.
“What President Nana Addo has done within the three and half years far exceeds the expectation of many Ghanaians which would give him a resounding victory come December 7,” he said.
The group conducted a survey in 10 regional capitals, and the outcome indicated that, many Ghanaians are happy with the social intervention programs introduced by this government, especially the free SHS, the industrialization program which has opened up the economy, health, infrastructure among others.
“Additionally, it has also established over 70 one district one factories spread across the country. This has really expanded the economy and has given meaningful jobs to many Ghanaians.”
He further noted that, the NPP government has constructed dams to support farming activities across the country which has made enough food available for consumption.
“Even within the COVID-19 pandemic, the President, through the NBSSI made available GHC1billion to support SMEs in the country,” he said.
