The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is trying to leave no stone unturned in their bid to recapture power from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). The NDC left power three and a half years ago after they lost the December 2016 elections by a wide margin, but the party seems to be bouncing back with energy.

A former member of parliament for Akwatia Constituency and former deputy minister in the Mahama administration, Hon. Baba Jamal has expressed his deep optimism about the NDC recapturing power from the NPP in the December 2020 polls.

According to Baba Jamal, the performance of the Nana Akuffo Addo led government is very appaling and there is no way Ghanaians are going to give them another term in office.

Speaking on Okay FM's Ade3 Akye Abia morning show hosted by Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, the member of the NDC's legal team listed a number of areas where he believes the government has failed and which will definitely cause Nana Akufo-Addo's defeat to their flagbearer former president John Dramani Mahama.

He said in the area of mining, the Akuffo Addo government has demonstrated a very terrible performance. The poorly managed attempt of the NPP government to deal with the problem of illegal mining has caused about 3 million people losing their jobs, he said. These disappointed people is part of the hopes of the NDC to receive massive votes, against the NPP government.

He also spoke of businesses that have been negatively impacted by the insensitivity of the Akuffo Addo government. A number of businesses have collapsed over the period of Akuffo Addo's governance. All the owners of these businesses and their employees, he said are going to vote out Akuffo Addo and his NPP government.

He also referred to the various banks and other financial institutions that have collapsed under the watch of Nana Akuffo Addo is a clear indication that the government has already lost touch with the suffering masses.

When asked about the possibility of the beneficiaries of the free SHS policy voting for the NPP government, Baba Jamal said there is no way these people are going to vote for Nana Akuffo Addo. This he said is because the free SHS program has been very poorly managed by the government and they have done more harm than good.

The host asked him again about the impact of the restoration of teachers and nurses trainee allowances for Nana Akuffo Addo, but the former MP said they will not vote for the NPP again because of the hardship they have been made to go through.
