NPP SHOULD PREPARE FOR ANOTHER BIG DEFEAT IN 2016 POLLS-MCE.

With barely three months to the December 7^th ,2016 general elections, the main position NPP should prepare well to accept another big defeat by President John Mahama .

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Offinso Municipality, hon.Haruna Yusif who gave the prediction at Hello FM, a local based radio in Kumasi, said NPP will be shocked in the outcome of the forthcoming polls because they have nothing new to offer to Ghanaians.

The MCE said that NPP will fall flat in the December polls because any attempt to use electricity crisis popularly known as “dumsor”, graduates unemployment among other issues to campaign, will not work.

Commenting on the finding by Centre for Democratic Governance (CDD’s) report that,7 out of 10 Ghanaians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction ,the Offinso MCE said since the country’s independence no government including former President J.J.Rawlings, J.A.Kufour had done well with in the area of health, education and general economic well being of the people than the incumbent President John Dramani Mahama.

According to the CDD, survey, at least 70 percent of Ghanaians believed the country is heading in the wrong direction, a study has revealed. The survey, which was conducted by CDD-Ghana and covered the period of July 2 to 18, painted the disillusionment of Ghanaians regarding the overall management of the economy. The survey was conducted from a sample size of 2,400 adult Ghanaians across 163 districts and 291 towns and villages.

However, the Offinso MCE feels that, the CDD report would not have any effects on President Mahama and NDC’s chance of retaining power. He said  even in the Ashanti Region which is seen as political strong hold of the NPP, the NDC will surprise the NPP because of massive infrastructure development across the country will translate into voting for the ruling government.

The NDC man said his party was the most organized political party in the country and they were leaving no stone unturned to ensure a second term for President Mahama come December,7^th,2016 general elections.

On his part, hon.Simons Osei Mensah, the incumbent MP for Bosomtwe constituency said NDC government was the walking contradiction because it was President Mahama who told Ghanaians that NPP boasting of development was mediocre but now he (president Mahama) and leading members of the NDC have make u-turn to talk about the development projects for Ghanaians to base on in renewing NDC Government’s mandate. According to him, the ruling government was currently borrowing to pay its debt because of the poor economy.

Hon.Simons Mensah was hopeful that, Ghanaians will reject NDC government to enable Nana Addo to help improve the living conditions of the people
