Mr. Dan Lartey, Leader of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), in a telephone interview with the GNA, described the economy as "critically harder" and that it would need "divine intervention to get the country out of the mess if the NPP continued to be in power."

He deplored the President's (x'mas) statement saying, "he is in the saddle and he is supposed to die for Ghanaians and his assertion that the economy would be better next year means that he has accepted defeat"

"Ghanaians should not wait time at all to vote for Nkrumaist Party to steer the affairs of the country", Mr Lartey said.

He said "the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was responsible for the economic mess of the country and that the NPP too has failed to put things in order. Their days are numbered and they should prepare to change hands".

He advised all the Nkrumaist parties to join hands to fight the common enemy, the NPP and the economy.
