Ace journalist and political commentator, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has debunked perception that the Volta Region is a political stronghold for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) because of former President of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings.
According to him, such notions are untrue because the people of the Volta region have a mind of their own and will not lean towards one person.
Speaking on Accra-based Pan African Television, Kwesi Pratt noted that the Volta region has over the years been insulted by people who claim they vote for the NDC because Rawlings is from the region.
The journalist said, “This attempt to insult the people of the Volta Region should stop. Do you know how we insult the people of the Volta Region? We insult the people of the Volta Region by claiming that they don’t know their destiny, they don’t know themselves and that they’ve supported the government because of one person. That’s an insult.”
He further explained that “When Busia became President, he made the head of the secessionist movement Ghana’s Ambassador to Togo and that’s why the NPP is unpopular in the Volta Region and not because the people in the Volta Region vote for the NDC because of Rawlings.”
