This follows complaints from some illegal miners that they may vote against him in 2020 due to his administration’s fight against their galamsey activities.
But speaking to journalists at the Flagstaff House after his first six months in office, the president said: “I’ve been told there are young men who have said they voted for me and if I continue down this way they can be sure that they will not vote for me again in 2020. Well, the 2020 vote it’s not clear if Akufo-Addo’s name will be on the ballot in the first place and even if his name is on the ballot, this is not going to be the reason why I’ll stop, I’m going to continue.”
