Former Central Regional Minister Kwamena Duncan has asserted that the National Campaign Launch of the opposition National Democratic Congress, which was held in the Northern Regional capital town, Tamale, was nothing but a panic reaction.

According to him, the NDC is currently gripped with fears over the number of people attending the constituency campaigns being held by the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the northern parts of the country.

The former minister, who made these remarks in an interview on Peace FM on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, indicated that the NDC is now gravely concerned about the people of the north turning towards the ruling NPP because of the number of development projects the people of the North have seen under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government.

“Everyone who is being truthful would tell you that the NDC event that took place in Tamale on Saturday was a panic reaction. If you compare the number of people who attended the NDC’s National Campaign Launch and its organization to the constituency-by-constituency campaign of Bawumia, no one would tell you that there is great fear in the NDC and in John Dramani Mahama.

“This is why they went to hold the event we saw in Tamale on Saturday,” he said in Twi.

Kwamena Duncan, a member of the NPP, also criticized the NDC for failing to tell Ghanaians their policy objectives at the party's campaign launch.

He said that the flagbearer of the party was only making promises that he would not lie to Ghanaians but failed to list alternative policies that would help improve the lives of the citizenry.
