The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has stated that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) cannot contest the excellent performance of the current Akufo-Addo administration ahead of the 2020 general elections.
He stated that the Akufo-Addo administration has chalked up significant successes in just two and half years, adding that the electorate would renew the mandate of the party in the next elections.
“In the 2020 elections, the NPP shall campaign on our positive records and that would enable us to inflict a painful defeat on the NDC once again just as we did in 2016,” he said, adding “the NDC was in power for eight years and so we shall compare our landmark successes in our first term with their records, and I doubt if the NDC has any records to campaign for votes.”
Addressing NPP organizers during a conference in France on Saturday, Mr. Awuku stated that the NPP would carefully sell its achievements to the electorate.
The programme was attended by NPP organizers in the Diaspora and Ghana, who discussed plans to strengthen the party to retain power in 2020.
“We are winning the next presidential and parliamentary polls with our numerous achievements. This will be an election of comparing records, therefore the NDC needs to prepare,” he said to a rapturous applause.
“The NPP shall present the free SHS policy, One District, One Factory, ‘Planting for Food and Jobs,’ restoration of teacher and nursing trainee allowances and all the other positive policies we are implementing.”
“This will put us at advantageous position to repeat the dose on the NDC in 2020 because we all know that the NDC doesn’t have any positive records to campaign for votes,” he added.
The event was attended by Henry Nana Boakye, the NPP National Youth Organizer; Lawyer Justin Kodua, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Youth Employment Agency (YEA), and other regional organizers of the party in Ghana.

The Problem is the NDC's incompetence and inability to communicate to Ghanaians her programs and policies to help Ghana come out of the numerous economic problems. You see the message of the NPP is 'Ghana beyond aid'. And in this message are policies in place to change the status quo of the Guggisberg economic structures as inherited from our Colonial past. We see the massive infrastructural interventions in the Railway sector,1D1F programs are picking up and many others in the pipe line, to borrow the phrase from the NDC. Now, upon all these what do we hear from the oppposition to present a better alternative? Aside the NDC playing it down with false allegations in terms of wishful thinking and malice aforethinking. Clearly, under this circumstance there is no way NDC can win election against NPP. Therefore, all those false allegations against the EC Boss are blantan creations of the NDC out of frustration and incompetence. There is, indeed, a deficient bottom-line political strategy and message from the NDC to combat the robust NPP political expediency. NDC should not blame it on the EC as a scape goat.
