The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has confidently declared that his party is set for an undeniable victory in the December 7 general elections. Addressing a charged atmosphere at the NPP’s final rally at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Thursday, December 5, Mr. Kodua assured thousands of supporters that no tactics employed by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) could obstruct the party’s path to success.
The rally, a culmination of months of vigorous campaigning across the country, attracted a sea of enthusiastic party faithful, adorned in NPP colors and waving flags. The event was marked by speeches from key party figures, music, and chants of support for the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In his address, Mr. Kodua exuded confidence in the NPP’s preparations and strategy, asserting that the party’s governance record and policies had laid a solid foundation for their victory. He noted that the NPP had carefully planned and executed a campaign focused on delivering results and meeting the needs of Ghanaians.
“We are winning the elections, and nothing can stop it. Bawumia is the incoming president, and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) cannot stop it,” he declared to roaring applause from the crowd.
Highlighting the party’s track record, Mr. Kodua emphasized the successes of flagship initiatives such as the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, digitalization of government services, and various infrastructural projects that have transformed the lives of Ghanaians. He argued that these achievements demonstrated the NPP’s commitment to national development and provided a compelling reason for Ghanaians to renew their mandate.
Mr. Kodua also took a swipe at the opposition NDC, accusing them of engaging in divisive tactics in a bid to regain power. According to him, the NDC had resorted to tribal and religious sentiments in an attempt to sway voters, a strategy he described as desperate and unpatriotic.
“Sensing their impending defeat, they have now resorted to tribal politics and religious denigration to create division,” he stated, urging Ghanaians to reject such tactics and focus on the issues that truly matter for the country’s progress.
The NPP General Secretary further called on party supporters to remain vigilant and resolute in the days leading to the election. He stressed the importance of ensuring that every vote counts and that the party’s efforts are not undermined by complacency or electoral malpractice.
“We must guard the ballot and ensure that every vote for the NPP is protected. This is not just about the party; it’s about the future of Ghana and the need to continue the progress we have made together,” Mr. Kodua said.
The rally saw a high turnout of NPP stalwarts and government officials, including the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who also addressed the gathering. Dr. Bawumia reiterated the NPP’s commitment to delivering economic transformation, job creation, and improved living standards for Ghanaians. He urged voters to reject the NDC’s rhetoric and trust the NPP to deliver on its promises.
Justin Frimpong Kodua concluded his address with a rallying call to action, reminding supporters of the stakes involved in the upcoming elections. He expressed confidence in the ability of the NPP to secure a decisive victory, but stressed the need for collective effort and determination.
“This is our moment to show the world that Ghana is on the path to greatness. We cannot afford to go back to the days of mismanagement and broken promises. Let’s vote for progress, let’s vote for hope, let’s vote for Dr. Bawumia and the NPP,” he said, his words met with loud cheers and applause.
The December 7 elections promise to be a closely contested race, with the NPP and the NDC presenting contrasting visions for Ghana’s future. While the NDC has focused its campaign on criticizing the NPP’s governance and promising to deliver better social and economic policies, the NPP has emphasized its track record and ongoing projects as evidence of its commitment to national development.
As the campaign period officially comes to a close, the atmosphere in the country is charged with anticipation. Both major political parties have expressed optimism about their chances, setting the stage for what is expected to be a pivotal moment in Ghana’s democratic journey.
For the NPP, the message is clear: a vote for the party is a vote for continuity, stability, and progress. Justin Frimpong Kodua’s confidence in the party’s victory reflects the determination of the NPP to maintain its hold on power and advance its agenda for the country.
As Ghanaians prepare to cast their votes, the rallying cry from the NPP is one of hope, unity, and a brighter future under the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The party’s supporters, buoyed by the energy and optimism of the final rally, remain resolute in their belief that December 7 will mark the beginning of another chapter of success for the New Patriotic Party and Ghana as a whole.
