Election 2024: Any Result Other Than NPP Losing Would Be A Stolen Verdict

Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a respected figure in Ghanaian politics and a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said that any result other than NPP losing the the 2024 election would be a stolen verdict.

He voiced his firm belief that his party stands little chance of winning the upcoming presidential elections slated for December 7, 2024. In a candid interview with JoyNews journalist Benjamin Akakpo on Thursday, March 14, 2024, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed his conviction that any outcome other than a change in government would reek of foul play and could plunge the nation into a state of turmoil.

Responding to Akakpo’s inquiry regarding the NPP’s electoral prospects, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe delivered a stark assessment, characterizing any victory for the party as a product of what he termed ‘The stolen verdict.’ He warned of dire consequences should such an outcome materialize, cautioning that it would sow seeds of discord and instability within the country.

Elaborating on his prognosis, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe attributed the NPP’s dim electoral prospects to several factors, chief among them being the prevailing economic challenges facing the nation. He asserted that disillusionment with the party’s performance in addressing these issues has eroded its support base among the electorate.

Furthermore, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe highlighted internal rifts within the NPP, particularly discord surrounding the party’s flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He suggested that Dr. Bawumia’s candidacy lacked unanimous endorsement within the party ranks and alleged that financial backing from incumbent President Akufo-Addo was instrumental in securing his position.

Drawing attention to regional dynamics, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe expressed concern over fissures emerging within the NPP’s stronghold, the Ashanti Region. He pointed to the defection of former party member Alan Kyerematen to the Movement for Change as a destabilizing factor, predicting a splintering of support that could undermine the party’s electoral prospects.

In conclusion, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe painted a sobering picture of the NPP’s electoral outlook, emphasizing the imperative for introspection and reform within the party if it hopes to remain viable in Ghana’s political landscape. His candid assessment serves as a clarion call for party members and leadership alike to confront internal challenges and present a united front ahead of the impending elections.
