Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming 2024 general elections, has confidently stated that the NPP will retain power beyond 2028 if the party is successful in the 2024 elections. According to Dr. Opoku Prempeh, commonly referred to as NAPO, the NPP’s performance while in office is commendable enough to ensure its governance for an extended period.
Addressing party members and the general public at an event organized by the Manhyia South Constituency of the NPP, NAPO emphasized the significance of the 2024 general elections in shaping Ghana’s political future. He urged Ghanaians to vote for the NPP, expressing his firm belief that a win in the 2024 election would secure the party’s dominance for years to come.
NAPO’s comments came during a health walk held at Abby’s Park in Kumasi on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The event, organized to promote fitness and unity among party supporters, also provided a platform for NAPO to show his unwavering support for his successor and the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. The walk drew a large crowd of party faithful who gathered in support of the NPP and its candidates, as the party ramps up its campaign efforts ahead of the December 7, 2024 elections.
While addressing the enthusiastic supporters at the event, NAPO confidently declared that the NPP was well-positioned to lead the country for an extended period, far beyond the upcoming election. “Come 2024, we know you’ll vote for Dr. Bawumia to become president. But I urge you, after Dr. Bawumia and Lawyer Baffour win this year’s election, there will be no more elections in Ghana because when the NPP leaves, another NPP government will take over,” he remarked. NAPO expressed the view that a victory in 2024 would open the door for the party to maintain its hold on the presidency and continue its development agenda for the nation.
He further added, “This is why the 2024 election is so important. It will be the mother of all elections in the country.” His remarks reflect the NPP’s belief that the upcoming general elections will be a pivotal moment in Ghana’s political history and that the outcome will determine the country’s direction for the foreseeable future.
NAPO’s assertion comes amid an ongoing debate over the future of Ghana’s political landscape. The NPP, which has been in power since 2017, believes its record of governance, economic management, and social development programs will resonate with the electorate and secure another term for the party. Key achievements under the NPP government, such as the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy, improvements in infrastructure, and efforts to stabilize the economy, are seen as significant factors that could influence voters’ decisions in 2024.
As the running mate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate, NAPO plays a crucial role in mobilizing support and energizing the party base ahead of the elections. Dr. Bawumia, who has served as Vice President since 2017, is running for the presidency for the first time. His campaign has focused on continuity, with promises to build on the achievements of the current administration while addressing the challenges facing the country.
The health walk in Kumasi was one of many campaign activities organized by the NPP as it continues its efforts to engage with the electorate and make its case for re-election. With less than three months to the December 7 polls, the party is ramping up its outreach to ensure it secures enough votes to retain power. The NPP faces stiff competition from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by former President John Dramani Mahama, who is making another bid for the presidency after losing the 2020 elections to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
NAPO’s comments on the likelihood of the NPP staying in power beyond 2028 reflect the party’s confidence going into the 2024 elections. However, the outcome of the elections remains uncertain, as voters will have the final say on which party will lead the country for the next four years.
As the campaign heats up, both the NPP and the NDC are intensifying their efforts to win the hearts and minds of Ghanaians. The NPP is relying on its track record and the appeal of its presidential candidate, Dr. Bawumia, while the NDC is focusing on offering an alternative vision for the country under the leadership of former President Mahama.
For NAPO, the stakes of the 2024 elections could not be higher. He believes that a win for the NPP will not only secure Dr. Bawumia’s presidency but will also set the stage for the party to govern for many years to come. His confidence in the party’s ability to maintain power is evident in his rallying call to supporters to ensure a resounding victory in December.
As election day draws closer, the NPP is counting on the support of its base, as well as undecided voters, to deliver another victory for the party. NAPO’s remarks at the Kumasi event signal the party’s determination to remain in power and continue its agenda for the development and progress of Ghana.
The 2024 general elections are shaping up to be one of the most significant in the country’s history, with both major parties fighting for the opportunity to lead. NAPO’s bold prediction of the NPP’s extended reign will be put to the test as Ghanaians head to the polls on December 7 to decide the nation’s future direction.
