Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>A political scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Kwame Asah-Asante, has lauded the governing New Patriotic Party\u2019s campaign team for the December 2024 general elections, describing it as \u201ca solid team.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The NPP, on Monday, February 19, outdoored its campaign team ahead of the December polls.<\/p>\n

Dr Asah-Asante underscored that the individuals put together by the party are \u201cmen and women of substance,\u201d adding that the country awaits their campaign messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor elections, you need to have your resources, both human and material\u2014which they will have\u2014your strategy, manifesto, and messages,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that these messages should be about problems the party has identified and the measures it will take to address them if voted into office.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the messages should \u201caddress the problems of the people\u201d and the \u201clingering challenges\u201d they face within the political system.<\/p>\n

The political scientist, however, stated that issues of the economy will be a \u201cdaunting task for them to convince Ghanaians\u201d of the economic situations in which they find themselves.<\/p>\n

He also added that the issues of employment, growth of the economy, and infrastructure development, amongst other things, should be packaged to convince people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to the promises they made, are you sure by the time we get there\u2014December 7\u2014they will have enough to stand on to campaign?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n

Dr Asah-Asante further stated that the party should make no mistake that elections are about work, emphasising \u201chow much work they have done to showcase to Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, one of the key indices of governance that affects the fortunes of political parties is corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cIssues of corruption are going to be brought to the fore and discussed in detail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East constituency, Mavis Hawa Koomson, was named the coastal campaign co-ordinator.<\/p>\n

Also, the immediate past Minister for Decentralisation and Rural Development and one-time General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dan Kwaku Botwe, was appointed as the campaign chairman and strategist.<\/p>\n

Mr Opare Ansah has also been named as the Campaign Manager.<\/p>\n

Also, the MP for Effiduase\/Asokore Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Dr Ayew Afriyie, was appointed as the campaign co-ordinator for the Middle belt.<\/p>\n

The defense minister and MP for the Bimbilla constituency, Dominic Nitiwul, will be the Northern Belt campaign co-ordinator to garner enough support for Vice President Dr Bawumia.<\/p>\n

This was announced by the General Secretary of the party, Justin Koduah Frimpong, at a media briefing in Accra on February 19 after a crucial National Executive Committee meeting.<\/p>\n
