Ghana’s main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has served notice to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to prepare its handing over notes ahead of the 2020 elections.
In its solidarity message at a national delegates conference of the NPP in the capital, Accra on Sunday, the NDC said: “We commend you on your act of brevity to organise a national delegates conference at Christmas when many Ghanaians are having a very dry Christmas, a wahala Christmas.”
“Ghanaians are suffering, teachers are suffering, nurses are suffering and the Vice President is suffering,” the former CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NIA) Sylvester Mensah said on behalf of the NDC.
He added: “Our politics should be a contest of ideas and not to tear this country down… No party in opposition should wish failure of a party in Government. Because when they succeed the people of Ghana are better for it and the country is the winner.
“If the free SHS succeeds it only helps the next NDC government to come and manage it well for the people of Ghana.”
The ruling New Patriotic Party is holding its National Annual Delegates Conference at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra.
The Conference is to serve as a booster for the party’s preparation towards next year’s election. About 6000 delegates from the 16 regions of the country are taking part in the conference.
