A Kumasi-based political analyst, Nana Osei Nyarko, has predicted that parts of the strongholds of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), notably the Volta Region and the three Northern Regions, will swing the way of the NPP in the December elections. The NPP he said “will have a clean victory in the regions’ parliamentary seats since the waters have been tested and the party is certain that most of the NDC seats will fall". Speaking in an interview with newsmen in Kumasi, Nana Nyarko declined to name the specific seats that would fall, but was very optimistic that what could not happen during the time of President Kufuor would definitely happen under the NPP flag bearer, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo. The political analyst said the electioneering campaign of the NPP was already in motion and it would be extremely difficult for the NDC or any opposition party to put up any credible challenge. Nana Nyarko said the NPP had already put in place very prudent strategies to ensure that the party achieved its desired goal. He noted that Ghanaians were now realizing that the NPP was the only political party that could develop the country in true freedom, and as a result, people who hitherto were staunch members of the NDC and the other political parties were now turning to the NPP, throughout the country. According to him, the NDC's eight years of mismanagement of the economy and nearly eight years of NPP's good governance had been compared and contrasted; the result, showed a clear distinction between the two political traditions. He, therefore, concluded that come December the NPP would carry the day. Source: The Crusading Guide
