Ghana’s sitting president, Nana Addo- Dankwa Akufo-Addo has strongly mooted that the largest opposition party in the country, NDC, will never rule Ghana again until the party gets a loved figurehead like late Jerry John Rawlings.
These arguable comments from Nana Addo has raised the tempers of many NDC fanatics.
According to Nana Addo, Ghanaians have dejected the NDC as party from their hearts reason he won both 2016 and 2020’s presidential race.
Whiles speaking to the party’s leadership in Accra, President Akufo-Addo critically contended that after late J.J Rawlings elapsed his two tenures in the office of the presidency, the NDC party has woefully failed at winning the hearts of Ghanaians.
He is reported to have said;
We should remember that ever since Jerry John Rawlings left the presidential scene of politics in our country, no NDC presidential candidate has won more than 50 per cent of the votes. His successor Mills, in his first-round against Kufuor, had 44%, second round, 47%. He gained the same figures in his second run. In 2008, after 3 rounds, he got 50.03%. Mahama, in 2012 got 50.7%, in 2016 he got 44%, in 2020 he got 47% of the votes.”
What these figures tell us is that whenever the members of the NPP put our heads together, we win. The majority is with us. So let us be very clear in our minds. Our opponents with all the shouting, do not have the support of the majority of the people.”
The future of Ghana and this country is in our [NPP] hands and is dependent on our actions,
During his speech delivery, Nana Addo also added that the NDC’s strong claim that John Mahama won the just ended polls is a fat lie.
The NDC has been making a lot of noise that they won the elections. One moment they claim they gained 139 of the parliamentary seats, another they say 145. They are not sure as to how many. All these claims turn out to be false
