Political tension is surrounding the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) rallies on December 5. Some analysts have accused the NDC of deliberately planning their demonstration to overshadow the NPP's event, diverting voters' attention and support, according to a report by CITI NWESROOM. The NDC's deputy general secretary, Mustapha Gbande, has vehemently refuted these allegations, claiming that any scheduling overlap was wholly accidental.
Gbande stressed the significance of interacting with the voters in this pivotal last phase of the campaign in a recent statement. According to him, his party is committed to speaking with voters and attending to their issues. John Mahama, the NDC's presidential candidate, is a leader dedicated to standing up for all Ghanaians and supporting an administration that aggressively tackles the country's urgent problems, according to Gbande.
However, the NPP is presenting its next rally as a pivotal point in its campaign plan. According to renowned party official Haruna Mohammed, this event is the last effort to rally support around the country. To make sure that every prospective voter feels appreciated and acknowledged in the party's outreach initiatives, the NPP has sent out senior officials to campaign vigorously in different areas. In order to unite and excite their support base as they get ready for the elections, the rally is being organized as a unifying event.
The schedule conflict underscores the intense competition between these two major parties as they fight for electoral supremacy in the 2024 elections, regardless of whether it is a coincidental event or a well-thought-out political move. In addition to demonstrating the fierce rivalry, this clash of rallies highlights how crucial successful voter participation is to determining Ghana's political future.
