Since the introduction of Democratic rule in 1992, the NPP and the NDC has had almost equal sixteen (16) year rule. The NDC began it's administration under the leader of H.E Fmr.Prez Rawlings who ruled for eight(8) years. H.E Fmr Prez Kuffuor had his eight year rule. H.E Fmr Prez Mills and Fmr Prez Mahama also had their eight(8) year, four yesterday under Prez Mills and four years under Prez Mahama. H.E President Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo who is almost in his eight year administration makes it an equal sixteen years administration for both NPP and NDC administrations since 1992.

Elections 2024 is classified as the fair playground for the two major Political parties in Ghana, each will campaign on their past records for Ghanaians to decide who best fit to lead this country. I accept that both parties over the years have been able provide social amenities like roads, hospitals, schools etc but the NPP stands tall since it's the only political party that didn't provide Ghanaians with only social amenities and went ahead to also provide social policies which the NDC can't attribute one policy to themselves. The NDC is also known for criticizing the great NPP social policies and also doing everything within their strength to destroy these policies when they gain political power after the NPP implements them.

Social policies like National Health Insurance scheme came under attack from the NDC and the then NDC Members of Parliament led by Fmr.Prez Mahama who was Member of Parliament for Bole Bamboi then boycotted parliament when the Prez.Kuffuor led administration brought it to Parliament for the bill supporting NHIS to be passed. Under the administration of Prez Mills and H.E John Mahama, they did everything to destroy the NHIS through the introduction of capitation, cancellation of free maternal care and failure to pay NHIS providers. When Prez.Akufo Addo was campaigning to introduce free SHS, the NDC sponsored over 20 adverts against this policy, today they are campaigning to reset free education which it's clear the NHIS harm they caused will be done to free education when the unlikely happens.

I plead with Ghanaians to consider the great Prez Akufo Addo and Veep Bawumia great policies like free education, digitalization, teacher and nursing trainee allowances, 1 District 1 factory, agenda 111 which seeks to build many hospitals, DRIP initiative, planting for food and jobs and the many great NPP policies and vote massively for H.E Dr Mahmud Bawumia for a smooth continuation of these great policies and an introduction of new great social policies like free tertiary education for the disable and many great policies in the NPP manifesto.
