General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has accused the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of resorting to tribal politics and religious denigration ahead of the elections on Saturday, December 7.
Nonetheless, he said, the presidential candidate of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will win the elections.
“We are winning the elections and nothing can stop it. Bawumia is the incoming president, and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) cannot stop it,” he said during the final rally of the NPP at the University of Ghana on Thursday, December 5.
He added “Sensing their impending defeat, they have now resorted to tribal politics and religious denigration to create division.”
Also speaking at the same event, Former President John Agyekum Kufuor pleaded with Ghanaians to vote for Dr Bawumia.
Mr Kufuor argued that it is only the NPP that can move Ghana ahead hence the call to vote for Dr Bawumia.
He said, “The future is in your hands, you have to make the right decision to choose your leader. So Saturday, you vote for Dr Bawumia and you will see how Ghana will move ahead.
“It’s only the NPP that can move Ghana ahead. All over Ghana, we’re the preferred party, because in the few opportunities we have had, we have used the principles our forefathers taught us.”
Dr Bawumia also urged the electorate to vote for him on December 7 to succeed President Akufo-Addo.
The Vice President said he is best placed to take the country to its next level of development.
“I represent the future of this country. The choice that we have is between backward and the future. Do we want to go forward or backwards?” he asked the supporters at the final rally of the party.
Dr Bawumia stressed that a vote for him on December 7 means a brighter future for Ghana.
“We believe it is possible to transform this country into an advanced country. We believe in possibilities because we have a mindset of possibilities,” Dr Bawumia stated.
“Are we going into the future or we are going into the past with ‘nkukor nkitinkiti’ (Chicks)” he teased.
The NPP flagbearer touted the achievements of the government and called for their retention in power.
“We have solved the problems of parents who could not afford secondary school fees. Today, over 5 million students have benefitted. We have restored teacher trainee allowance and expanded education infrastructure. There is no government that has invested in health infrastructure than the Akufo-Addo Bawumia government,” he asserted.
