The Volta Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), James Gunu, has levied accusations against the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), alleging their accumulation of wealth and self-enrichment.

According to Mr Gunu, the NPP's financial status surpasses that of the state, rendering discussions on state funding for political parties irrelevant.

Addressing the media launch of the NDC's fundraising code in Ho on Friday, May 17, Gunu urged the NDC to adopt strategic and innovative approaches to generate resources from its members and other supportive Ghanaians keen on seeing the party secure victory in the upcoming elections.

Gunu expressed, “Today, has anyone of you heard about the NPP talk about state funding for political parties in Ghana? No. because they are damn richer than even the state so they will not go there to talk about state funding of political parties.

“Now it is for us as a political party in opposition determined to win power to be more strategic, and innovative and come out with initiatives that can rake in resources from among our members and well-meaning Ghanains that want to see the NDC win power.”

With preparations underway for the 2024 general elections scheduled for December 7, the NDC is gearing up for the electoral contest.
