The running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh expressed confidence that the governing party can secure 85% of the Presidential vote in the Ashanti Region.
He stated that the party has consistently surpassed expectations and defied political commentators by securing more votes than predicted.
Speaking at the launch of the NPP campaign team in the Ashanti Region, NAPO was optimistic about the party getting an 85% vote in the Ashanti Region.
“There were several pundits who said the NPP was not going to win the election in 2016, especially because of the tag against the presidential candidate [Nana Akufo-Addo] that he was arrogant or what have you.
“I remember it was that time that the NPP was also able to garner the most resounding victory ever since the dispensation of our democracy in 1992”, he added.
He said the party has done a lot of work in the Ashanti Region to garner more votes.
He mentioned a number of road projects, school projects, and other infrastructural facilities in the region.
According to him, with Dr Bawumia as the presidential candidate for the party, NPP will achieve the 85% vote in the Ashanti Region.
He urged supporters in the Ashanti region to honour President Akufo-Addo’s leadership by supporting the NPP at the polls.
The Manhyia South constituency Member Parliament (MP), highlighted that the NPP will launch a vigorous door-to-door campaign nationwide in preparation for the upcoming general elections.
He noted that times and seasons change, and the party’s fortunes should not be compared to the past.
He stated that the 2024 election comes with its dynamics, as the party has young, invigorating candidates who have proven themselves when given the opportunity to serve.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh is convinced that with a mix of election tactics and the achievements of the Akufo-Addo government, the Ashanti region will honour the party with 85% of the votes.
He acknowledged that there may be individuals in the Ashanti Region who are dissatisfied with certain aspects, but he believes that considering the overall achievements of the government, they will still vote for the NPP.
“Dr. Opoku-Prempeh talked about how the achievements of President Nana Akufo-Addo far outweigh what Nkrumah and other presidents did,” he said.
