The Member of Parliament for Manhyia in the Ashanti region Mathew Opoku Prempeh has stated that “only uneducated minds” will vote for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2016 elections.

According to him, any serious minded Ghanaian should be looking for an alternative party to replace the “non-performing” Mahama administration come the general elections.

“It is only an uneducated mind that will continue to vote for the NDC government, a government bereft of ideas, a government bereft of policy and a government bereft of credibility.

“We need a government that will prosper Ghana and prosper Ghanaians. This power situation we find ourselves in today is avoidable.

“We need not be in this situation but for a bad government, this situation has been uncalled for but for a visionless government.

"We need a government that will think about all Ghanaians and not just NDC,” the medical doctor told the media in Kumasi Wednesday after he submitted his nomination forms for his re-election.

He also advised Ghanaians to be mindful of who they vote for during national elections since a wrong choice of candidate will have dire consequences for the entire nation.
