2016 election is not a two horse race - Nduom

According to Papa Kwesi Nduom, the 2016 election will not be between the NDC and NPP.

 

He said the two parties since 1992 have dominated the Ghanaian politics and presided over corruption and economic instability in their regimes don’t have the moral right to seek re-election.

The Ghanaian political system has remained among the most stable in Africa.

The last presidential and parliamentary elections in December 2012 returned incumbent President John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against main opposition candidate Nana Akufo-Addo of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) and provided a seat majority for the NDC in parliament.

The economic situation will largely determine election prospects for the 2016 elections. It is predicted to be a tight race between incumbent Mahama and Akufo-Addo.

In a Facebook post on Friday, March 19, 2016, Dr Nduom said, "2016 is NOT a two horse race. It is NOT between NDC and NPP. It is NOT between Akufo-Addo and Mahama. That may have been before dumsor, monoccocal meningitis, IMF squeeze, wanton use of our tax money to fund a personal campaign, killer taxes, unending internal division in NPP, concentration on winning an election with no policy alternatives, etc., etc. Not any longer!"

According to him, "The PPP's message of change, to elect MMDCEs, implementation of FCUBE, using state resources to support local entrepreneurs, separation of Ministry of Justice from the Office of Attorney-General, incorruptible leadership and job creation is catching on. The people like the PPP's coalition idea of using the best people to solve Ghana's problems. The youth are excited. The progressives are taking one village at a time."

"Are you a believer? Change is possible!," he added.
