The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central, Henry Quartey, has advised Ghanaian voters to avoid supporting political parties that lack a clear message.

He made the remarks while speaking with journalists during the special voting exercise on Monday, December 2, 2024.

Henry Quartey appealed to voters to elect a government with a comprehensive plan to address the nation’s challenges.

In his view, the ruling government, led by its candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has policies that will improve the livelihoods of Ghanaians.

“We are making a special appeal to Ghanaians to vote for the NPP government. In their campaign, they haven’t told Ghanaians that today, kenkey is GH¢6, and so when they come, the same will be GH¢1. In their campaign, they haven’t told Ghanaians that when they come, the price of fuel will be half of what it sells for now. In their campaign, they haven’t told Ghanaians that when they come, they will triple the salaries of workers.

“Also, in their campaign, they haven’t told Ghanaians that, yes, a dollar is sixteen cedis. Are they going to make it GH¢6 when they come? Certainly not. So, what is the message? We have a message. The flagbearer is clear and says: Bold Solutions. He has outlined a number of manifesto policies that, when Ghanaians vote for NPP, these are the areas we are going to go to.

“Teachers and nurses will be given exemptions; duty-free. There will be a flat tax, and there will be no duty on the import of mobile phones, among other things. So, this is a campaign that is loaded with messages. We don’t have an alternative. So, voting for a party that has no message is dangerous for this country. And I think that the youth should think about their future,” he added.
