The commissioning of projects by the president and his government will have no impact on the general election scheduled to take place on December 7, Presidential Candidate of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen has said.
The seasoned politician in an interview on Starr Chat with Bola Ray explained that the outcome of the polls was going to be determined by the economic conditions and not infrastructure which might probably be beneficial to them.
He said it was not because the public was not appreciative of the development but voters did not make electoral choices based on projects.
“Ghanaians vote because of difficultly,” he began his explanation in Akan. “If they are experiencing difficulties, whatever you’ve done, it’s not that they don’t appreciate it, they appreciate it but once they are affected negatively by the economy that is it,” he told Bola Ray during the sit-down.
He conceded that although it was good the president was commissioning the projects, “it was not going to help the NPP”.
President Akufo-Addo in the last few weeks, has been commissioning major projects as a means to tout his record in office. The road infrastructure includes two major interchanges in Accra; the Flower Pot interchange and Phase 2 of the Obetsebi Lamptey interchange aimed at easing vehicular traffic in the city.
Mr. Kyerematen, who previously served in the Akufo-Addo administration, maintained that that was not going to help the ruling party’s case in its pitch to voters for the nod to break the eight.
