This Saturday on JoyNews' Newsfile, host Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panelists will discuss the United States elections and the recent impasse in Parliament.
Donald Trump was elected president, marking a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House, and ushering in a new American leadership likely to test democratic institutions at home and relations abroad.
But his win has been highlighted by both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who claim Trump's victory is a positive signal for their own success in Ghana's upcoming December 7 general elections.
The NDC, in a statement signed by General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, said Trump's return to the presidency four years after his exit "… is a good omen for us in the NDC, and a sign of great things to come given the stark parallels it presents as Ghanaians head to the polls to elect a new president on December 7." "Just as Americans have chosen to reset their future with experienced leadership, we believe that Ghanaians will reject the current government's eight years of insensitivity, corruption, and economic mismanagement.
