Ghana would be the second country after Nigeria in West Africa to maintain an incumbent government, the Ashanti regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has established.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako has said that the NPP would use the same strategy the All Progressives Congress (APC) used to win the 2023 elections in Nigeria.
“We will use that same method to break the 8 in Ghana”, the NPP Chairman popularly known as Chairman Wontumi said.
Touching on the benefit of maintaining the NPP, Chairman Wontumi stated that “Malaysia is developed because just one political party has had an opportunity to rule for long and used that opportunity well.”
He however observed that Ghana’s case is different and that has affected the flow of development because of the rate of changing government after every 8 years since the country returned to democratic rule.
Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the APC, has been declared the winner of the presidential election.
Mahmood Yakubu, chairperson of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced the results in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Yakubu said Tinubu secured a total of 8,794,726 votes.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had the second-highest figure with 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) was next with 6,101,533 votes.
