We Will Use Every Means Possible To Win The Election, You Can Burn The Sea If You Don’t Understand – Bryan Acheampong
Bryan Acheampong, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi Constituency and Minister of Agriculture, has made a striking statement during a campaign tour in Nsawam, declaring that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not relinquish power to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2024 general elections. His remarks have sparked significant debate and concern across the political landscape in Ghana.
“NPP Will Not Hand Over Power”
Addressing a passionate crowd of NPP supporters, Acheampong emphasized that the NPP is determined to win the December 2024 elections, regardless of the efforts made by the NDC. He boldly asserted that the NDC would remain in opposition, and the NPP would utilize all possible means to secure victory.
“Before I end my speech, I want to reiterate that whether the NDC likes it or not, they will never win the 2024 elections. They won’t win. Go and check their records, they won’t win. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is there to win elections,” Acheampong declared, reinforcing his confidence in his party’s ability to maintain power.
A Recurring Theme
This is not the first time Bryan Acheampong has made such bold claims. Earlier in March 2024, during a campaign event in Mpraeso, he made similar statements, indicating a consistent message in his rhetoric. His remarks suggest a firm belief within the NPP that they will retain power in the upcoming elections, regardless of the challenges posed by the opposition.
A Controversial Stance
Acheampong’s comments have stirred controversy, with critics arguing that such statements could undermine the democratic process. His assertion that the NPP would use “whichever means” necessary to win the election has raised eyebrows, prompting concerns about the lengths to which the party might go to secure victory.
In a defiant tone, Acheampong challenged those who disagree with his stance, saying, “If you don’t understand, go and burn the sea. We will win the elections and continue the good works of the NPP. Nsawam, we thank you. God bless you.”
Reactions and Implications
Acheampong’s remarks are likely to fuel ongoing debates about the integrity of the upcoming elections and the role of political rhetoric in shaping public perception. As Ghana approaches the 2024 general elections, statements like these could contribute to an increasingly polarized political environment, with both the NPP and NDC seeking to galvanize their supporters in the face of intense competition.
The political landscape in Ghana remains dynamic, and as the December elections draw nearer, all eyes will be on how both parties navigate the challenges ahead. Bryan Acheampong’s statements are a reminder of the high stakes involved and the determination of the NPP to retain power by any means necessary.
