President Mahama said the agenda of the NPP is to capitalise on the few challenges confronting the economy, just to score cheap political points.

President John Mahama says persistent hurling of insults at the presidency cannot enhance the electoral chances of the opposition NPP adding that the party has "won an olympic medal in insults and vilification."

He said the agenda of the party is to capitalise on the few challenges confronting the economy, just to score cheap political points.

Speaking at the NDC campaign launch in the Central region, he said “…It has been the characteristics and a feature in this elections; that the EC is attacked every step of the way by the NPP. And it is part of the strategy to discredit the EC.

“The mark of a leader is one that is able to unite his supporters behind him. They are now quick to commend people who hurl insults at me and my government. Even the former President Kufuor has not been spared the brunt of their attacks.

“They are even quick to threaten people who differ with the opinions of the leader with physical harm. It is clear that they have already won an Olympic gold medal in insults,” he stated.
