The Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, Collins Owusu Amankwah, has dismissed concerns about the National Democratic Congress (NDC) impact on the NPP's chances in the upcoming 2024 elections.

He suggested that even if the NDC chose to boycott the elections, it would not hinder the process, downplaying their significance as a threat to the NPP.

During an interview on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on September 29, 2024, Owusu Amankwah further argued that the NDC’s absence would likely enhance the NPP’s chances of victory by reducing the number of presidential candidates.

“… If the NDC decides to boycott the elections it will even help because they are one of the 9 political parties participating. So, if they think they do not have any message for the good people of this country and if they access their achievements during their tenure and realise Ghanaians are hesitant to vote for them, they can decide to boycott the 2024 elections and it will still come on,” he said.

Touching on the NDC's concerns about the voters' register, Owusu Amankwah stressed that the elections would not be affected. He noted that the Electoral Commission has committed to correcting the register and will re-exhibit it online.

“The Electoral Commission said they will re-exhibit the voters register online after making the corrections so now the election will surely come on. Balloting has already been done as well as the exhibition even though the second one will be done following corrections made,” he added.
