The presidential running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has advised Ghanaians against voting for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
According to Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the NDC, under the leadership of former President John Mahama, led the country into a period of darkness during their time in power.
He made these comments during the NPP’s health walk in Takoradi on Saturday, August 17, ahead of the party’s manifesto launch.
He explained that the NPP, under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo, has alleviated many of the challenges faced by Ghanaians, and urged voters not to allow the NDC to take the country back to those difficulties.
The election we are heading into in 2024 is decisive. Four years ago, Ghana was slummed into darkness, but for the past eight years, God has brought light upon Ghana. The upcoming polls are a choice between darkness and light. If you make the wrong choice, you risk taking Ghana backward.
Meanwhile, Dr Prempeh has accused the NDC of misleading voters with false promises about improving the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
According to him, during the 2016 general elections, the NDC pledged to enhance the NHIS if it won the election, but this promise was a complete deception.
In 2016, the NDC said that when they come, they will reinstate one-time insurance. What President Mills did, they said they would improve it. Am I lying? But when they came and President Mills implemented the one-time insurance, people started dying because there’s no such thing as one-time insurance in the world.
