Sammy Awuku, director general of the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), is confident in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) chances of winning the 2024 elections.
He stated that even though he anticipates a difficult battle with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he anticipates the ruling party to prevail.
The former National Organiser of the NPP said he expects a fight for several parliamentary seats in the 2024 elections while speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday, April 4.
However, he added that the NPP will defeat the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) using a variety of strategies.
“I think that the NPP must focus on regaining our lost seats because there will be a battle for Parliament. But I think we [NPP] will beat the NDC through strategy.”
Mr. Sammy Awuku also made a suggestion that he might run for the NPP’s nomination for the Akropong parliamentary seat.
