Manhyia South Constituency Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta, has said the signs are clear that the opposition NDC is planning to execute their evil agenda in the elections.
The constituency chairman, popularly known as Tom Tom, said any time the NDC is found to not campaigning close to elections, it means they are planning to cause disorder and confusion in the country.
Speaking in an interview with Okatakyie Afrifa on Accra-based Angel FM’s morning show on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, Tom Tom said, “ As we can all see, the NDC has not been campaigning. We must be watchful of this tactic since they seek to use it to execute their evil plans.”
NPP, NDC comparison
Comparing the campaign activities of the NPP and NDC, Tom Tom noted that, while NPP is campaigning vigorously as if they’re in opposition, the NDC are virtually out of the equation.
“ Unlike the NDC, the NPP is vigorously pursuing a four-prong campaign strategy featuring the presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, his vice Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) and their wives, Samira Bawumia and Alma Pokua Opoku Prempeh,” he said.
Bawumia vs. Mahama
Making a comparison of the two presidential candidates, Tom Tom said while Dr Bawumia is for instance campaigning in at least three constituencies in a day, John Mahama goes out briefly, stops and returns to Accra to relax.
Napo vs. Jane
Also comparing Napo and Jane Opoku Agyemang, the Manhyia South chairman said, while the NPP vice presidential candidate is also doing at least three constituencies in a day, Prof. Jane is completely lost in the campaign.
What is even more striking is that Napo is campaigning better than the NDC presidential candidate.
Samira vs. Lordina
With reference to Samira Bawumia, Tom Tom posited that, the 2nd Lady has been very active in the field campaigning in the nooks and crannies of the country.
Comparatively, Lordina Mahama is nowhere to be found.
Alma Prempeh
Tom Tom further mentioned the great role being played by Napo’s, wife, Alma in the NPP campaign.
“She’s going round actively campaigning but nobody hears about the husband of the NDC vice presidential candidate in the campaign, “ he added.
Polling stations
Tom Tom said elections are won at polling stations, and the NDC cannot use any crude tactics to have their way.
“If you’re not campaigning what results will you get,” he asked the NDC, adding, “Anytime you see them not campaigning it means they are doing something diabolical. “
Demonstrations
Tom Tom accused the NDC of being behind demonstrations that had happened in the build-up to the elections.
“ They are doing this just to cause confusion in the country. Recently in parliament, had it not been for the level-headedness of NPP MPs, there would have been chaos in the House due to the attitude of NDC MPs,” he said.
Watchful
With all the developments, Tom Tom implored Ghanaians to be watchful.
“We should not allow any political party to create confusion during the election through ballot snatching and other evil acts, “ he urged.
