Farmers in the country have been told that their lives and future will be secured only when the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) remains in political office.

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who made the call, said it’s only the NPP administration that has the interest and well-being of farmers, especially cocoa farmers, at heart.

He has therefore entreated farmers to offer their unflinching support for the NPP administration to retain political power on December 7 and implement policies to boost their lives.

“The NPP has moved the cocoa price from 475 to 2070 and plans to increase the price again this year, clearly demonstrating the NPP’s commitment to cocoa farmers.

“This is a government that always plans and thinks about what it should do to help make life better and more comfortable for cocoa farmers and their families,” Dr. Prempeh said.

The running mate of Dr. Bawumia, who is also known as ‘NAPO’ said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) doesn’t have any better plans for cocoa farmers.

Speaking at Asunafo South in the Ahafo Region as part of his campaign tour, NAPO said the gains secured in the farming sector will be eroded with the incompetent NDC in power.

“The NDC will abandon the cocoa rehabilitation projects, which are currently ongoing in the cocoa districts, should we make the mistake of voting for the NDC,” he warned.

According to him, the NDC always peddles blatant lies and propaganda to confuse farmers, repeating that the NDC doesn’t have any better plans to help cocoa farmers.

“The well-being of cocoa farmers is not the priority of the NDC,” the NPP vice presidential candidate indicated and said, “Cast your ballot for the NPP to secure your future.”
