Yaw Buaben Asamoah, the Communications Director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cautioned Ghanaians against voting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2024.
He said the notion that a party has to exit power after an 8-year mandate should be scrapped by voters in the 2024 polls.
According to him, if Ghanaians give power to the opposition party they will come and destroy all the good policies the Akufo-Addo government has instituted.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Wednesday May 4 to respond to the public lecture on the theme “Ghana at crossroads” given by Former President John Dramani Mahama on Monday May 2, Mr Buaben Asamoa who is also a former Member of Parliament for Adentan said “8 elections in the democratic dispensation offered by the 1992 constitution with four wins each by the NPP and the NDC, it is time Ghanaians choose decisively which party will lead them into a future of hope and prosperity.
“The 8-year rotation remains painful and meaningless ritual if the NPP continues to build every 8 years and the NDC continues to pull down in subsequent 8-year cycle. It is in this context that former President John Dramani Mahama seeks to characterized Ghana as being at a cross roads in his recent public lecturer.”
Also, the NPP called on Ghanaians to disregard Mahama’s promise of cancelling the e-levy should he win in 2024.
“In any event, can John Mahama explain the difference between his 17.5% tax on financial transactions and his manifesto pledge to impose a uniform tax on all electronic transactions? Are these measures E-Levy in disguise and does he stand by them?” Communications Director of the NPP Yaw Buaben Asamoa wondered at a press conference in Accra Wednesday.
He stressed: “If we reflect deeply, we will accept, as the records show, that significant change to our political institutions and conduct, economic structure and management and positive social impact, has mostly happened under the NPP’s watch.
