The Manhyia South Constituency Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta, has said the signs are clear that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is planning to execute its evil agenda in the upcoming elections.

The constituency chairman, popularly known as Tom Tom, claimed that every time NDC members are found not campaigning close to elections, it implies they are planning to cause disorder and confusion in the country.

Speaking in an interview with Okatakyie Afrifa on the morning show of Accra-based Angel FM on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, Tom Tom said, “As we can all see, the NDC members have not been campaigning. We must be watchful of this tactic since they seek to use it to execute their evil plans.”

NPP, NDC comparison

Comparing the campaign activities of the NPP to that of the NDC, Tom Tom noted that while the NPP is campaigning vigorously as if it’s in opposition, the NDC is virtually out of the equation.

“Unlike the NDC, the NPP is vigorously pursuing a four-pronged campaign strategy featuring its presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia; his vice, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Napo), and their wives, Samira Bawumia and Alma Pokua Opoku Prempeh,” he pointed out.

Bawumia vs. Mahama

Comparing the two presidential candidates, Tom Tom asserted “while Dr Bawumia is, for instance, campaigning in at least three constituencies in a day, John Mahama goes out briefly, stops and returns to Accra to relax.”

Napo vs. Jane

Also, comparing Napo and Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the Manhyia South chairman said “while the NPP vice-presidential candidate is also doing at least three constituencies in a day, Prof. Jane is completely lost in the campaign. What is even more striking is that Napo is campaigning better than the NDC presidential candidate.”

Samira vs. Lordina

With reference to Samira Bawumia, Tom Tom indicated that the Second Lady has been very active in the field campaigning in every nook and cranny of the country.

Comparatively, Lordina Mahama is nowhere to be found.

Tom Tom further mentioned the instrumental role being played by Napo’s wife in the NPP campaign.

“She’s going round actively campaigning but nobody hears about the husband of the NDC vice-presidential candidate in the campaign,” he added.

Polling stations

Tom Tom said elections are won at polling stations, and the NDC cannot use any crude tactics to have its way.

Demonstrations

Tom Tom accused the NDC of being behind the demonstrations that took place in the build-up to the elections.

“They are doing this just to cause confusion in the country. Recently in Parliament, had it not been the level headedness of the NPP MPs, there would have been chaos in the House due to the attitude of NDC MPs,” he said.

Be watchful

Considering all the developments, Tom Tom implored Ghanaians to be watchful.

“We should not allow any political party to create confusion during the election through ballot-snatching and other evil acts,” he urged.
