General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asideu Nketsiah has stated emphatically that, should the general elections be held today, the ruling New Patriotic Party led by N ana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would lose massively.
He claimed that, most Ghanaians are yearning to bring back the NDC as the NPP government has woefully failed Ghanaians.
Speaking in a recent interview, he made the bold claim that, if elections were held now, the NPP will be out of office.
“We are confident in him [John Mahama]… becoming a President. There are a lot of things that can go wrong along the line, when you lose elections, it is not always a strong correlation with your acceptabilty or popularity, there are things that can go wrong, we have lost elections before, the 2004 election….In fact the 2000 election that we lost, 7 or 8 months after that defeat nobody could talk on radio speak on radio stations in Brong Ahafo on behalf of NDC.”
“And even if you were driving in town, you fear to identify yourself as NDC. So we saw that the mood of the population was for a change and they got the change. Of course, it was fueled by propaganda trying to paint us as thieves… but this election[2016], the day after our defeat when I was driving through Accra I was still being cheered… That is why the party has been able to bounce back quickly, if elections were held today, the NPP won’t be in government. The story will be different,” he added.
