Sammi Awuku, a former national organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), believes that the party will have a difficult time succeeding in the 2024 elections.
But Mr. Awuku is confident that the party can win over many Ghanaians with effective communication.
Speaking at an NPP Youth Mentorship event in Accra, Mr. Sammi Awuku, who is currently the Director-General of the NLA, predicted that 2024 would be a difficult year to predict.
“In 2024, we have to work times two to win the elections, I’m being brutally frank. In 2016, there was a considerable level of agitation for change and the very reason why your campaign in 2024 will be different, is that the campaign in opposition is different from a campaign when you are in government.
“If nothing will remind you, what should remind you is that when you are in opposition, you use change, when you are in government, you use continuity,” Mr. Sammi Awuku said.
By winning in 2024, the NPP hopes to end the eight-year cycle.
Salam Mustapha, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) national youth organizer, has urged the party’s youth wing to play a key role in the effort to “break the 8” in the elections of 2024.
On Thursday, August 3, 2023, he spoke at the Mentorship Forum at the University of Professional Studies in Accra.
Relatively, candidates for president have been warned by the ruling NPP to refrain from giving the impression that the party’s electoral roll for its presidential primaries is unreliable.
Some aspirants’ campaign teams expressed concern over the register’s potential for errors.
However, the NPP assured that the members of the committee are closely collaborating with the candidates for president to ensure that all errors are corrected in a statement dated August 7 and signed by the Secretary of the Presidential Elections Committee, William Yamoah.
The party reaffirmed that the Presidential Elections Committee is committed to producing a reliable voter register as well as a free, fair, and transparent election process.
