The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not worried and surprised about the EIU report tipping the opposition NDC to win the 2024 elections, says former Director of Communications Nana Akomea.
According to Nana Akomea, the NPP is fully aware that it will lose the presidential seat should an election be held “in the present circumstances.”
He was optimistic that the NPP will regain the trust of Ghanaians before the 2024 elections considering the policies that the party will be rolling out.
“Everyone in this country, including the NPP is well aware that if an election is held now, with the current circumstances, the NPP will not be the most popular party.”
“Fortunately for us, elections will not be held today. We have over 2 more years to go, which gives us more than enough time to remedy the current difficulties and get back into the good books of the majority of the voters. We are thus not worried about any such report,” he said in an interview on Citi TV.
Nana Akomea said this in reaction to a report by London-based economic and political analyst, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) who in a five-year forecast for Ghana tipped the NDC to win the next general elections.
The EIU, however advised the NDC to bring on board a new presidential candidate other than former President John Dramani Mahama.
