Governance and Leadership expert, Dr Donald Agumenu is predicting that the wind of change that has just enveloped the United States electoral system will be replicated in Ghana with a technical knockout to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ticket.

Reacting to Donald Trump's comeback victory at the sidelines of the ongoing Volta regional campaign tour by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, Dr Agumenu said his parallel statement to that of Ghana is not simplistic as there are indications that Ghanaians will be voting massively based on their personal and general economic conditions.

"The wind of change that characterised the US electoral system should not be lost on Ghanaians. Let us embrace Sankofa and vote massively for John Mahama on the 7th of December as President of Ghana," he pointed out.

Agumenu said while he is not oblivious to the complexities surrounding Donald Trump's political comeback and success, he equally believes this "victory is a testament to a prevailing spirit and the sovereign will of the people."

"I congratulate him on his victorious outcome and determination towards world peace. I sincerely hope his foes will turn over a new leaf of love and work towards global peace, security and prosperity."

The leadership expert also said he believes in all personal convictions that "...divinity is not on the side of the NPP and its presidential candidate in this year's election," saying further that "In all ramifications, you'd come to realise that the time has come for the government to change hands to NDC."

"One of the key factors that redefines the uniqueness of this year's election is the candidates involved, unlike 2016, 2020 and other previous elections. Unlike the Akufo-Addo- Bawumia ticket against Mahama-Amissah Arthur- Naana Jane tickets, the principal on the ticket of the NPP today doesn't have the mettle and presidential maturity to lead this country."

Donald Agumenu, who is also the Director of Special Duties of the NDC in the Volta region argued that "Bawumia and his running mate Matthew Opoku Prempeh, lack the level of seriousness for presidential leadership to change the fortunes of this country and reignite hope."

According to him, "Economic conditions would have been better if truly Vice President Bawumia is the economic gem much touted by the NPP propaganda machine and himself."

He added, "Bawumia these days has unfortunately decided to avoid issues of the economy and has found a safe landing on the global phenomenon of digitalization.

"It baffles me why the vice president as the leader of the government economic management team is not creating a sustainable path, even short to medium-term solutions, to curb the economic challenges we face as a people. Instead, he keeps taking triple jumps to announce so many things he claimed he has done without measuring it concretely in the lives of the citizenry."

The governance expert also argued that he disagrees strongly with the much-touted digitalization achievements of Bawumia by the NPP machinery, which he said are far detached from current economic realities.

He observed, "Not underestimating the benefits of digitization and digitalisation, it's important to underscore the fact that technological development is a process and not an event. Successive governments have laid robust infrastructures for off-take, and we are not there yet when it comes to the full spectrum and value chain of a digital economy."

"On a more serious note, we are largely at one end of the circle as consumers and not producers or even sellers.  One may want to know the cost of digitalisation to the Ghanaian purse and how much has Dr Bawumia spent so far on these e-projects. The Vice President may have played a good role through his cinemas and theatrics to support Akufo-Addo in electoral victory but he lacks the gravitas for Ghana's transformational leadership."

Dr Agumenu has therefore entreated all Ghanaian voters to follow the US experiment and vote massively for President John Mahama and running mate Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang to continue from where this government has ended, improve the economy and provide more jobs to the teeming youth.

Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang's ongoing tour is expected to comb most rural areas to drum support for the NDC's victory in the December 7 polls.
