Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South and Minister for Energy, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, has reiterated the party’s commitment to winning the 2024 elections.
The energy minister declared the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not lose the impending elections contrary to assertions that it has fallen out of favor and is in danger of losing the upcoming polls.
At a Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) gathering in the Ashanti Region he declared, “This party would not lose the election in 2024.”
According to Dr. Opoku Prempeh, the government’s actions to address the economic issues facing Ghanaians and causing the problems to go away will play a big part in the 2024.
According to him, despite the evident challenges, the governing NPP has shown leadership and competence, and that things would have been worse if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had been in charge of the Ghanaian economy.
He urged the party’s young to be optimistic in the run-up to the 2024 elections, saying that certain party members who failed to advance in either the first or second term of the Nana Addo-led administration are wishing the party’s demise.
“No TESCON member should consider or harbor any doubts regarding 2024. Your and the party’s survival are essential to our 2024 victory. I wouldn’t want to retire with an opposition party.”
“Go ask former President Kufuor if you’re unsure. What did he think of the NDC during his eight years in opposition and the six years under the NPP? Which one does he prefer?”
“Therefore, it is preferable to be the ruling party’s garden boy rather than the landlord of the opposition party,” he added
