The Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has ramped up his criticism of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), alleging that the government is resorting to financial incentives to manipulate voter behavior.
He contends that this strategy prioritizes short-term gains over essential developmental projects that are critical for the nation’s growth.
During a gathering with party members at Amoakokrom in the Ahafo Ano South-East Constituency on November 5, Asiedu Nketiah voiced his concerns about the NPP’s approach to governance.
He argued that by diverting resources to buy votes, the government is undermining public trust and neglecting the long-term infrastructure and social programs that could genuinely benefit communities across the country.
Asiedu Nketiah stressed that such tactics not only diminish the electorate's confidence in the ruling party but also pose significant barriers to sustainable development efforts.
He believes that the NPP’s focus on financial incentives detracts from addressing pressing societal issues that need immediate attention and action.
In light of these allegations, he called upon NDC supporters and the wider community to vote decisively against the NPP in the upcoming December elections.
He urged citizens to recognize the importance of their votes and to reject the temptation of financial incentives in favor of a vision for genuine development.
Asiedu Nketiah concluded his address by emphasizing the NDC's commitment to addressing the real needs of the people, encouraging a massive turnout at the polls to ensure the ousting of the ruling party.
He framed this election as a pivotal moment for the future of the nation, one that could steer Ghana toward a path of authentic progress and development.
“The NPP government only comes to our villages to help with infrastructure projects and other benefits when election season is approaching. They turn deaf ears to our problems after the elections."
“They share all kinds of benefits. I ask you, what will these do to you after four years? For us, we embark on projects that benefit all. You will need nothing from us when you can provide for yourselves.”
