Renowned legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has asserted the outcome of the 2024 presidential election has already been determined due to the decision of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to make Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia their flagbearer.
Speaking in an interview on TV3, Kpebu said that the presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), former President John Dramani Mahama, would win the election because there is no way Dr Bawumia can compete with him.
According to him, Bawumia would be “no match for Mahama” because Ghanaians, who he said are not “fools”, now know that the vice president only came to lie to them.
He then went on to list some of the supposed “failed promises” and “lies” told by the vice president.
1. In 18 months of an NPP government, no community in Ghana would have water or toilet problems.
2. Under an NPP Akufo-Addo government the economy would “grow and grow” and there would be “jobs and jobs and jobs”.
3. If the fundamentals of the economy are weak, the exchange rate would expose
4. We have arrested the depreciating cedi and given the keys to the IGP
5. An NPP government would move Ghana from taxation to production
6. NDC has resorted to increasing taxes under economic difficulties they created, an NPP government would do differently.
7. We don’t have to borrow for roads, all we need is to toll the roads, the money is here.

14. Bawumia secures $18 billion Chinese loans for Ghana, where is it?
15. Free internet for university and SHS students
16. Kayayei won’t pay taxes under NPP

23. Ghana Motor Insurance database is the first of its kind in Africa
