The Advocacy and Policy Engagement Director at the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante, has urged Ghanaians to transcend the traditional two-party narrative and make well-informed voting choices.

He emphasizes the importance of supporting candidates who present tangible solutions to the nation's pressing issues.

During a Point of View interview on Citi TV with Bernard Avle, Dr. Asante highlighted the current economic crisis in Ghana, likening it to the challenges faced in the 1980s.

He expressed concern over the lack of clear plans from candidates on how to address these critical issues, noting that some are making vague promises that don't align with the nation's realities.

Dr. Asante called on Ghanaians to boldly make informed decisions to avoid future hardships. He urged voters to move away from conventional two-party rhetoric and scrutinize candidates' proposals more critically.

He emphasized the need for courage in this election cycle, cautioning that empty promises without viable solutions will only exacerbate the country's challenges.

“I really hope that Ghanaians tackle this business as usual two-party kind of sloganeering. We are in an election year. Already you will hear people putting out very empty promises that have nothing to do with the problems that we are facing.

“We have an economic crisis that we haven’t seen since the 80s and nobody is coming to tell us how are they going to fix that problem.”

“So I am hoping that in this election we would have lot more courage because if people will go and throw these things about and then they get into government, we are the ones that are going to pick up the pieces because then they cannot offer any solutions,” he stated.
