Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for prematurely claiming victory in the upcoming 2024 elections.

With just seven months to go before the elections, Bawumia expressed his skepticism regarding the NDC’s confidence.

Addressing over 200 participants at the 30th Anniversary of NPP-USA under the theme “30 Years of Political Dedication and Sacrifice; Honouring Our Heroes, Preserving Our Legacy, Securing Our Future Through Victory” held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, located at 5000 Seminary Road, Alexandria, Bawumia said;

“We are facing an election in about seven months, and it is us against our opponent, which is the NDC. They are seriously lacing their boots, and in fact, they are thinking, if you listen to them, that they have already won the elections. That is the noise they have been making.”

Bawumia challenged the NDC to justify their claims, questioning the basis on which they believe they can win the election. “What you will ask them is for the where? Where are they going to pass to win this election, and on what basis are they even going to claim that they have a chance?”

He further questioned the NDC’s record in government, their performance, and their vision, suggesting that their history does not support their confidence.

“Is it their record in government when they were in government? Is it their performance or vision? So where are they going to pass? As I say, it will be like a movie to them.”

Bawumia pointed to the NDC’s previous governance, highlighting what he described as economic failures.

“Because when you look at their record in government, is it something that even though they think we have short memories. We saw how economic growth basically collapsed. We saw low agricultural and industrial growth. They saw an economy that did not face crisis.” He said.
