I Would Build The Economy To Help NPP Break The 8 In 2024 Elections – Nana Akufo-Addo

Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo is hopeful that his personal records will help the NPP party, New Patriotic Party win 2024 elections.

President Nana Addo believes that before 2024 election elections, his government would have built the economy and reposition the country for success thereby winning them more votes.

The president made this assertion while speaking at Gbewaa Palace in Yendi, he reiterated the party’s resolve to win power in 2024 in order to continue with governance.

Akufo-Addo assured that the NPP would break the 8 by relying on his good leadership.

Just as my government worked to bring the country out of the IMF programme that we inherited in 2017, to build a strong economy before the Covid and Russian invasion of Ukraine happened, again we are going to go through the IMF negotiations and bring the economy back to a strong place before 2024 elections.

“All of that is in order to place the NPP in a good place to carry out its pledge of breaking the 8 in 2024.”

In Ghana’s political history no party has gone beyond the two-year term in government. Usually after the first and second round, the party loses power to the opposition.

However, President Akufo-Addo and NPP members think that breaking the jinx in 2024 is still possible following the recent economy hardships Ghanaians are experiencing.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO has endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said the Vice President will be the right person to lead the party to consolidate power in the 2024 elections.

Speaking on Peace FM in Accra, Napo said Dr. Bawumia will win the elections easily against former President John Dramani Mahama.

“I will be very glad to have the Head of Economic Management Team, Bawumia compete with Mr Mahama. If you’re from the North, I’m from the North, after the North to North; we then get to the Zongo to say I am a Muslim, you are not a Muslim. Then we get to when you were a Vice President, a Committee was set up to investigate corruption but none of that has been recorded under this Vice President; from there we move to you were gifted a car but this one doesn’t have that record.

“From there, we go to BBC interview; you said you can’t define corruption but this one says he can define it. Then we move to the purchase of a plane, this person didn’t buy one but you did…Lest I forget, last one, a President that recorded four years of dumsor against someone who has no such record,” he teased the former President John Mahama.

At the moment, the front-runners for the slot in the NPP are Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and the Minister of Trade and Industry (MOTI), Mr Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen.
