ASIKUMA  ODOBEN BRAKWA CONSTITUENCY  TOWARDS PEACEFUL  COEXISTENCE.  BEFORE,  DURING  AND AFTER JUNE  2020 PARLIAMENTARY PRIMARIES. . 

On behalf of the  Constituency executives,  we are ready to defend  and protect the unity of the forthcoming Parliamentary  Primaries. A house or family divided against  itself cannot  stand. That house cannot   stand to fight a common enemy or opponent.  That house cannot stand to  protect its ideas. That house cannot stand to  potray its beauty  and essence.  The need for  unity at the time our party is in power  cannot be  overemphasized.  It behoves all Parliamentary aspirants, party members  to unite behind our party.

Unity within our  party is enhanced by the way we  relate with one another . Every party member has a special  and significant  role to perform  in the pursuit of the corporate  and organizational  goals of the party. There is therefore the need to respect every  individual  and appreciate  our respective  contributions to the  stability  and  growth of our  party.

Within  our party’s  constitution  are provisions for free speech,  participation and  access.  Those provisions are  to ensure  fairness  within  an institutional  framework of rule of law.  That constitutional  arrangement  doesn’t  give  the parliamentary  aspirant  and his supporters  ammunition to  combat  each other nor creates grounds for disrespect  and arrogance.  We should therefore  eschew negative  tendencies  including the  use of  abusive  language,  insinuation,  gossiping and foulmouth. These negative  behaviours  cannot  enhance  PEACEFUL  COEXISTENCE. 

I am grateful to the Constituency Parliamentary  Elections  Committee  chaired by  Mr Eduful Annan,  Mr Frederick  Asamoah Boateng ,   the Constituency secretary,. Mr Lawrence Arthur  Research  and elections  officer  and Madam  Sylvia  who were in charge  of selling  and receiving  of Nomination forms. 

At the close of the Nomination forms   Thursday   20/ 02 / 2020   the following  aspirants   have  filed their   nominations to  contest for the forthcoming  Parliamentary Primaries in ASIKUMA  ODOBEN BRAKWA  CONSTITUENCY.

Ghana’s 2024 Presidential Elections: A Clash of Titans Between the NPP and NDC

Published

on

With just a few hours left for Ghana’s 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, the political atmosphere is charged with anticipation. This election is set to be a defining moment for the nation for various reasons. One important thing to note is that it marks the eighth presidential race since the country’s return to multiparty democracy in 1992.

The two leading contenders, representing the country’s most dominant political parties—the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC)— have just concluded their final rallies, which interestingly, were held just a few kilometers away from each other in Accra.

NPP’s Candidate: Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
Current Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the presidential candidate for the ruling NPP. As the first Muslim to lead the party into a presidential race, Dr. Bawumia’s candidacy represents a significant milestone for the NPP. As a technocrat and the leader of the economic management team, he has been a central figure in President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration. He spearheaded initiatives like the Ghana Card, the digitalization of public services, and mobile money interoperability. All these achievements have earned him the nickname, “Alhaji digital.”

Throughout Dr Bawumia’s campaign, he has emphasized economic transformation through technology and industrialization. Another key message in his campaign is the success of the Free SHS scheme which was the party’s flagship policy in the last elections held in 2020. Dr Bawumia believes “It is possible” to turn the fortunes of Ghana around. However, his campaign has faced significant challenges tied to the current administration’s economic record, including high inflation, rising debt levels, and a controversial bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Dr Bawumia and his running mate Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh

Dr Bawumia in consultation with the leaders of the NPP chose former Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) to be his running mate. This alliance with NAPO, a son of Manhyia has been described by many as a strategic one which is aimed at cementing the already existing bond between the NPP and the people of the Ashanti Region which has been described as the party’s stronghold for many years.

NDC’s Candidate: John Dramani Mahama
On the other side of the political coin is former President John Dramani Mahama, representing the NDC. This is his third presidential campaign, and he remains a polarizing yet formidable figure in Ghanaian politics. Mahama’s campaign is largely focused on what he describes as rescuing the country from the mismanagement of the NPP government. His flagship policies are the 24Hour Economy which he says is aimed at reducing youth unemployment and Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) where he promises to prosecute all state officials who have misappropriated state funds.

The former president is banking on his experience, emphasizing policies aimed at economic recovery, infrastructure development, and social welfare. His previous tenure as president (2012–2016) is both his greatest asset and liability; while he oversaw significant infrastructural projects, critics often highlight issues of corruption and inefficiency during his administration. This has become an albatross round his neck throughout his campaign, with many questioning his candidature. However, Mahama has pledged to learn from past mistakes and promises a more inclusive and transparent government if elected.

Former President John Mahama and his running mate Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang

John Mahama also made a strategic move by choosing Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang as his running mate. Should the NDC win the elections, she would become the first female vice president of Ghana. This bold move was welcomed by all especially women’s groups who have always called for the inclusion of more women is governance and leadership positions.

The Road Ahead
With these major parties finally concluding their campaigns with massive rallies which drew massive crowds at their respective venues, it is difficult to say the winner of 7th December’s elections is glaring. For the NPP, who seek to “break the 8” with their first Northern leader and be elected for a 3rd consecutive term, this election is a very crucial one.

For the NDC, who seek former President Mahama’s reelection and setting a record for having Ghana’s first female president, this election represents a whirlwind of possibilities.
In all this, one thing remains clear, Ghanaians will not only vote based on party loyalty but also on who they believe can best address their immediate concerns. With the stakes so high, the 2024 presidential elections promise to be one of the most consequential in Ghana’s democratic history.

The countdown has begun, and all eyes are on December 7, 2024 for the presidential elections. Will Ghana chart a new course with Dr. Bawumia or return to familiar territory with Mahama? Only time will tell.
