Even a doll standing on NDC’s ticket will beat any NPP candidate – Kwakye Ofosu

A former Deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has clashed with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s lawyer, Kow Essuman, over the choice of the NPP’s candidate for the 2024 general elections.

Kow Essuman retweeted Akufo-Addo’s comment that said the president will vote for a candidate who will inflict a third successive defeat on the NDC presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming elections.

In reaction to this, Kwakye Ofosu said anyone who represents the NDC will beat the NPP candidate hands down with a resounding victory.

“After such rubbish governance, even a doll standing on the NDC’s ticket will deliver a crushing defeat to anyone your party presents at the polls,” he wrote.

Ahead of the 2024 general elections, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is preparing to elect its presidential candidate in November 2023, while the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has elected former president, John Dramani Mahama, to represent it in the polls.
