Member of Parliament for the Abetifi Constituency, Bryan Acheampong, reaffirmed his stance that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not concede power to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2024 general elections, citing ongoing efforts to revitalise the economy.

Acheampong acknowledged the economic challenges facing Ghana but emphasised the NPP's commitment to improving the situation and ensuring positive impacts on the lives of Ghanaians, intending to secure the party's continued leadership.

Questioning the NDC's readiness and ability to win elections, Acheampong stated, “Last year, I stood here in Mpraeso and said that whether NDC likes it or not they will never win the 2024 polls. If you don’t win an election, will power be handed over to you? We will not hand it over to them today or tomorrow,” he reiterated.

He continued “As at that time I made the statements, Ghana was confronted with economic challenges. Food inflation was around 61%. Inflation was around 55%. The prices of cement and iron rods went up. Contractors said because of the IMF program, they were not going to work.“Agenda 111 projects came to a standstill. The dollar prices went up as high as GH¢19.00. Even at the time, in 2020, when we were in difficulty, the NDC was thinking that because we were in difficulty, Ghanaians were going to vote against the NPP. But I told you that before we will vote in the next election, the economy will be restored and Ghanaians will see the good works of the NPP government."

He highlighted past economic difficulties and asserted that despite such challenges, the NPP's governance would demonstrate significant progress before the upcoming elections.

What Bryan Acheampong said in April 2023

Bryan Acheampong, after a walk dubbed “Walk to Build A Better Ghana,” with a multitude of New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters at Mpreaso-Kwahu in the Eastern Region on Saturday, April 8, 2023, stated that the ruling NPP will never hand over power to the opposition NDC in 2025.

He cautioned that the NPP would show the NDC that they have the “men” should they try to use threats and violence in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

“The NDC party will collapse. If the NDC dares to use threats, violence, and foolishness in the 2024 election, we will let them know we have the men. We will show them that we have the men.“We have the men. It will never happen that we, the NPP, will stand on a platform to hand over power to the NDC. It will never happen! We will make sure NPP remain in government at all cost,” he said.
