“NPP Is Unpopular, We Know It Ourselves” …Nana Akomea Admits

-Confident of Winning Election 2024

Managing Director of the State Transport Company (STC), Nana Akomea, has thrown some sobriety into the mix by admitting that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is unpopular right now.

In an interview with Accra-based Citi TV, Nana Akomea who is also a former Communications Director of the NPP said the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU’s) report that the National Democratic Congress would win the 2024 elections is true.

However, he pointed out that there are still some two years to the elections and that the period is the NPP’s window of opportunity to turn things around.

“Fortunately for us, elections will not be held today. It will be held in two and half years and we believe that gives us more than enough time to remedy the situation and get back into the good books of the majority of the voters. So we don’t have any worry about any report that is telling us that we are not popular. We know it ourselves,” Nana Akomea noted

According to him, the main cause of the dip in the NPP’s public rating is the economy which has nosedived under Akufo-Addo.

The EIU has in a forecast predicted that the NDC will return to power due to the economic mess caused by the Akufo Addo administration.

The London-based EIU which is one of the world leaders in global business intelligence predicted that if elections were held in 2022, the ruling party would lose.

Many NPP hardliners including Vice-President Bawumia, have tried to brush the EIU forecast aside while level-headed moderates like Nana Akomea have refused to dance Ostrich.

President Akufo-Addo has simply made his administration unpopular with his numerous corruption and recent sex scandals, including an alleged defilement of a 14-year-old that has returned from the past to haunt him.

Even as the plentiful goodwill that the government had ridden on to take office in 2017 has waned, the President is not slowing down with a state capture agenda by him and his family members.

He recently appointed his nephew to head the state-owned oil corporation, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), this adds the tally of his close family members at the helm of strategic state institutions to almost 50.

This family-run government has been fingered as the bane of Ghana’s economic woes triggered by blatant corruption.
