Abraham Amaliba, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC's) director of legal affairs, claims that no presidential candidate put out by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2024 would be able to compete with those of his party.
He claimed that even with the finest rider in the world, the NPP "horse" is too feeble to help the party win.
On TV3's New Day on May 26, Mr. Amaliba discussed two of the candidates who are seen as front-runners: Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Kyerematen. He claimed that when Ghanaians vote in 2024, they won't be considering the candidates' names but rather the state of the economy.
He stated of Vice President Bawumia, "You see him, you see lies. You see him, you see a joker.”
On Mr Kyerematen, Mr Amaliba said the former Trades Minister failed to call the government to order in messing up the economy.
“He sat too long. He has been smeared. He needs to rebrand and that will take him another four years.”
For the NDC official, “it doesn’t matter who comes”.
He said by the actions and policy decisions of the government, families have been killed.
“This government has blood dripping in its hands,” he insisted.
After opening nominations on Friday, the NPP begins the process to elect its flgabearer for next year’s election.
All things being equal, the party has set Saturday, November 4 for the primaries.
