The struggle for the highest political office in the land of the Americans still lingers on. Even though Democrats’ Joe Biden has been projected as the Presidnet-Elect, Republicans’ Donald J. Trump has begged to differ and has vowed to use all means necessary to dispute the election results which have been called in favour of Joe Biden.
Across the globe, people have been expressing their views on the outcome of the elections and Ghanaians haven’t kept mute on the subject matter at all. In fact, some have even decided to link it to our local politics with claims that Trump’s defeat might be synonymous to what President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may face on Dec 7.
Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency in the Ashanti Region who doubles as the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has had his say in the US polls. The experienced legislator says the defeat of President Donald Trump did not come to him as a surprise.
According to New Ptriotic Party (NPP) bigwig cum business magnate, Donald Trump was not the obvious choice of the Republicans to lead the party into the 2016 election until their hopeful pulled out of the Primaries when the campaign became personal.
“The Republicans were hopeful that the governor of Texas was going to win the Primaries due to his exceptional achievement for the people of Texas, but during their Primaries, he was accused of corruption from an oil business and when it was getting personal, the man pulled out of the race,” he narrated.
Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ Morning Show, the Majority Leader of Parliament stated that he has never supported President Donald Trump for the way he carried himself.
“I was not surprised that Donald Trump lost the US election. At the personal level, I never supported him . . . when I went there I was not convinced at all that Trump would be able to help the course of Americans and even help the blacks in America.”
