A member of the campaign team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has revealed that the party intends to win the 2024 polls on a clean sheet.

He rubbished claims the NPP is banging its hopes on rigging to ‘break the 8’ as being propagated by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). In his view, the NPP is determined to win the polls with a strategy that would shock its political opponents.

Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana Show, the former national organizer of the NPP stated that the party is focused on selling its campaign message for Ghanaians to compare and contrast, expressing optimism that his party has a superior message and strategy.

“NPP will not attempt or try to rig a single ballot, but our deep-thought-out strategy, planning to lead to execution and also communicating what we can do to the Ghanaian people," he disclosed.

He added, “The polls that we have done and what I have seen in an objective space, I can tell you in parliament you are right, but in the presidential election we are slightly ahead, but we are not campaigning as an incumbent."

The leading member of Bawumia’s campaign team disclosed that the NPP is certain to win the polls based on strategy, which the NDC will not understand.

“The last time I came here, I told you that the NPP would win the elections based on strategy, which the NDC would not understand. We are proposing solutions.

"The ballot in 2024 will be a choice between hope and hopelessness, between the future that the youth are dreaming of and the future you can never get; it will be a choice between a young man who is also determined that this is what I can do for my people when given the opportunity and the others,” he said.

On whether the elections will go into a second round, he responded, “We want to campaign hard and win the elections in the first round. As I said, I won’t kid you; it would be a tough election for both parties. The youth will determine and tilt the balance of power.”
