Ghana’s
vice President, His Excellency Dr. Muhamadu Bawumia, has urged members of the
governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and political parties to be wary of their
utterances to help enjoy a violent free election.
He says, going into 2020
election, the party would campaign based on its records and what they could
better do for Ghanaians.
“We should make sure that how we speak and what we say to the public brings about peace and understanding, we want a very free fair and violence-free election,” he told Joy FM.
He added that the NPP won the
election in 2016 when it was in opposition and they have had the opportunity to
govern, so they would use their four-year performance to win the next election.
“We have arrested the depreciation of
the cedi, brought down inflation, we have brought down the interest rate, we
have increased growth, reduced unemployment reduced the suffering of the
people in terms of paying for electricity and created many jobs,” he stated.
Commenting further, Dr. Bawumia said he is proud of President Akufo-Addo’s leadership which has led to many of these achievements.
The Vice President stated that he is
happy government has been able to manage the economy better even in the face of
Covid-19.
“We are very happy and we are willing to fight on the record of what we have achieved across the board.
“That is what the election should be
– fought on the record – what you have been able to do and plan to do. If we
all focus on that, there should be no acrimony and allow the EC to do its
work,” he concluded.
