The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially applauded the recent political and economic report by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), as they described it as a “constructive analysis” According to a statement signed by the Party National Communication Director Yaw Buaben Asamoa: “This is because objective analysis extends the democratic tenet of free speech, and provides perspectives capable of informing policy reform”. The NPP however, acknowledges that the EIU has a record of reviewing Ghana’s governance systems, especially potential political outcomes. “To buttress its prediction of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) winning the presidential election and the parliamentary elections by a slim margin in 2024, the EIU touts its record of successful predictions over the years.” “If NDC wins, it will not be news. But if the NPP wins, it would be a remarkable achievement that would demonstrate the coming of age of electoral politics in Ghana,”. Yaw Buaben Asamoa said. Meanwhile, the NPP victory in 2024, is targeted on, “Breaking the Eight (8)” would be a more uncommon occurrence than an NDC victory, based on the history of elections in the Fourth Republic. The NPP noted, however, that EIU introduced a “new and significant double-edged factor” into the eight-year cycle, and said this is “the quality of leadership.” The “EIU implies that former President Mahama’s record of leadership is so poor that if he becomes the candidate, the NDC’s predicted win goes up in smoke,”. Pointing that, “this is a huge boost to the NPP’s effort of ‘Breaking the Eight (8) since we are confident that the NPP candidate will have a better governance record based on the cumulative achievements of the NPP in the Fourth Republic.” “But more importantly, NDC has not demonstrated any policy capacity capable of turning out better and faster outcomes in the areas listed. Indeed, the tendency is for the NDC to set the country back in respect of these factors whenever the eight-year cycle kicks in. The NPP builds and the NDC destroys. “Political stability is also a product of the NPP’s quiet yet hard work on the security front. Notwithstanding increased threats of regional instability spilling over into Ghana, piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, and sometimes very extremist talk from anarchic elements, the EIU predicts without hesitation that there will be political stability over the next five years. A plus for free, fair, and violence-free elections,” Yaw Buaben Asamoa said. Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
