The world is always ruled by people who are usually voted for in elections or people who inherit the throne as in a monarchy state. These rulers always try their best to do the things that are beneficial to the people.
Dr Kobby Mensah is a Political Communications lecturer. He has come out to say the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) should focus on delivering its election mandate instead of thinking about how to win the next election. The unofficial slogan of the NPP ahead of 2024 is “breaking the eight” as they set their minds on being the first political party to win three consecutive elections since the inception of the fourth republic.
Dr Mensah explained that the NPP winning the next election is rather about the party’s ability to fulfil its electoral promises many other factors. He also noted that the Vice President had not delivered on the things he campaigned on before the 2016 elections.
These were his words;
“My argument is if Ghanaians think this administration has really discharged all it said it would do, and comparatively with the NDC, very well, then, of course, it’s not even a rocket science for any strategist to think that handing over to Bawumia can actually win the election. Sometimes, the voters want new faces. You could actually look at one of the things in the 2000 elections; we have had PNDC-NDC for so long – 19 years, the same faces on TV. Sometimes people want to see fresh faces; they want to see what other people can…fresh ideas. For me, saying that Alan-Bawumia will be pairing, I will ask you the question; is that what the voters want?’ You can use that to satisfy your party people to sort of bring unity. But the point is he [Bawumia] hasn’t delivered; we have to be straight. I am number one fan of digitalization, but it was not the concern of this country. The concern that he was brought to the ticket [based on his knowledge of] the economy, and you remember the last election when NDC selected Prof Jane, everybody said, she’s not an economist; how can she battle Bawumia? Bawumia has left the economic platform long ago; he doesn’t talk about the economy anymore.”
