Noisy NDC Don’t Have The Support Of The Ghanaian Majority – Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo has insisted that results of all Presidential elections after Jerry Rawlings’ 8-year reign indicate that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) enjoy the support of majority of Ghanaians than the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The President stated that the country’s elections data shows that no presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) aside the late Jerry John Rawlings has been able to garner 51% in elections in the country.

While addressing national and regional executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who visited him at the Jubilee House Thursday, the President urged them to hold their shoulders high for the party’s victory in the 2020 polls.

“We should remember, ever since Jerry John Rawlings left the presidential scene of politics in our country, no NDC presidential candidate has won more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the votes. His successor Mills, in his first-round against Kufour, had 44 percent, second round 47 percent. When it came to the second time against Kufour the same figures and in 2008 when he contested against me after three rounds he got 50.03 percent of the vote. Mahama in 2012, 50.7%; in 2016, 44% of the votes; in 2020, 47% of the votes. What these figures tell us, is that whenever the NPP, we put our acts together, we win”.

“The majority is with us, so let us be very clear in our mind, our opponent with all the shouting and the “hey hey hey hey,” do not have the support of the majority of the people in our country. So the future of Ghana, the future of this country is in our hands. It is the function of how we behave, how we organize ourselves that will determine how the country will also move ahead,” President Akufo-Addo added.
