The National Communication Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has said Ghanaians do not need a puppet as President.
This comes on the back of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s election as the Presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to lead the party to the 2024 general election.
He polled 118,210 votes in the Presidential primary held across the country on Saturday, November 4, 2023, which had about 210,000 delegates casting their ballot.
His closest contender, Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Ken Agyapong polled 71, 996 votes.
Commenting on the election, the National Communication Officer of the NDC stated that Ghanaians do not need a President whose primary goal is to protect President Akufo-Addo.
“More importantly, Ghanaians don’t need a puppet as President, whose primary goal is to protect his God father- President Akufo-Addo and his corrupt family, friends and appointees from post-regime accountability.
“Despite his ridiculous claim that he will be his own man, the fact still remains, that a vote for Bawumia in 2024, will be a third-term vote for Akufo-Addo and his corrupt family and friends and enable them escape accountability for the several crimes they committed against Ghanaians,” Mr. Gyamfi stated.
He continued: “Any objective analyst will agree that Bawumia is not even an option let alone the alternative. He has nothing new to offer. He ought to be held responsible and punished for the excruciating hardships and economic mess he has plunged Ghanaians into. And I have no doubt in my mind that majority of the Ghanaian electorate will do this come December 7, 2024.”
