The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has challenged the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to provide tangible evidence of their economic achievements since 1992.
According to the Communications Director for the party, Richard Ahiagbah, the NDC’s impact on the economy has been non-existent since the country’s return to democratic rule.
Ahiagbah’s statement comes on the heels of the NDC’s recent attempts to criticize the NPP’s economic management.
However, the NPP has argued that the NDC’s inability to communicate the causes of Ghana’s economic challenges is evidence that the country would have been worse off under their leadership.
The NPP has also accused the NDC of taking a power-seeking position, refusing to accept the reality of the global economy and its impact on Ghana.
Ahiagbah’s comments are a clear indication that the NPP is ready to take on the NDC in the economic policy debate.
As the country prepares for the upcoming elections, the debate on economic management is expected to take center stage.
The NPP’s challenge to the NDC to provide evidence of their economic achievements is a clear indication that the party is confident in its economic record and is ready to defend it.
