A Professor at the University of Ghana, Ransford Gyampo has appealed to politicians to be mindful of the promises they are making to Ghanaians ahead of the 2024 general elections. To him, whichever party wins the elections to form the next government will face severe difficulties because the conditions have not changed. He explained that the level of hopelessness and despondency in the youth is monumental to the next and they are likely to accept the juicy promises being made. But if the eventual winner of the elections fails to implement those promises, it will threaten the peace and democracy of Ghana because the disappointed youth will take the law into their hands.
"Whatever it is power will change hands, whether it is the breaking the 8 or not," he said, but he added "the situation will have to be tough before it gets better," he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, August 17.
"A lot of effort will have to be done to rebuild Ghana, to regain what we have lost as a people, this calls for hard work," he said while commenting on the no-fees stress policy of the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama. Earlier, Prof Gyampo said that he was worried over the creation of the impression that there are solutions to all the problems of the youth.
