A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) shot itself in the foot by electing Johnson Asiedu Nketia alias General Mosquito as National Chairman.

Daniel Nii Kwatei Titus-Glover described General Mosquito as an “old wine in a new bottle” who poses no threat to the NPP.

Rather, the former Member of Parliament for Tema East constituency said his election has made ‘breaking the 8’ very easy for the NPP.

“Asiedu Nketia is an old wine in a new bottle; we have beaten him in two elections as General Secretary and we will beat him again,” he opined.

Mr. Titus-Glover was reacting to comments by NDC’s Ashanti Regional Communications Officer, Abass Nurudeen that, the election of Asiedu Nketia as NDC Chairman has sent shivers down the spine of the NPP.

Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Monday, he alleged that NPP executives have had sleepless night because they have no idea how to face General Mosquito in 2024.

Abass Nurudeen commended NDC delegates for voting massively for Mr. Nketia who will help them win power in 2024.

In a rebuttal, Mr Titus-Glover said the NPP is not worried about someone whose stock in trade are lies and propaganda.

He noted that, if as General Secretary, he could not win power for the NDC, then how can he do so as Chairman.

“2024 election is a battle of ideas not lies and propaganda. We will teach Asiedu Nketia how to collate results,” he added.

Mr Titus-Glover said the NPP is focused on solving the economic challenges facing the country and is confident Ghanaians will retain them in power in 2024.
