The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has urged electorates to prioritize their developmental needs when they go to the polls on December 7, 2024.
Addressing NDC supporters at Adiembra Zezera in the Dormaa West Constituency as part of her campaign tour of the Bono Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said the NDC’s record is visible in every sector of the economy, including health, education, roads, electricity, water, markets, and aviation.
“We promised to build 200 secondary schools and before leaving office in 2017, Ghanaians saw the ones we built and it is visible to all. The NPP too promised to build 350 brand-new schools. We want to know how many they have built and where they are”, she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said elections are also about track record and urged the government to show Ghanaians what it has done.
She also urged electorates to be wary of the government’s temporary inducements to harvest votes.
“Because elections are coming, they will bring money and share with people just to win their votes after denying them water, schools, roads, and electricity. That has been their stock-in-trade and that is why we are not seeing the schools, the roads, and other developmental projects across the country”, she added.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged the electorates to vote for NDC presidential candidate, Mr John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming December 7 general elections to enable him to bring development across the country.
She said a vote for Mr Mahama will bring jobs through policies such as the Big Push, National Apprenticeship Programme, Women’s Development Bank, and the 24-Hour economy, among others
