Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Standing) Despite the effort by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to brand the running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as arrogant, Dr Opoku Prempeh will remain focused and help Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to transform the country, Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has said. Afenyo-Markin recounted that the NDC did the same to President Akufo-Addo when he was a candidate but that did not work. "We know you tagged Akufo-Addo also as arrogance but it didn't work He is ready to transform Ghana with arrogance," he said during the launch of the NPP manifesto on Sunday, August 18. The Western Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Francis Ndede Siah,  has said that the 2024 manifesto document of the party contains measures to achieve progress and economic growth. He said the launch in Takoradi goes down in history as the day the party laid the foundation to break the 8-year electoral cycle to secure the future of Ghana. "The manifesto provides innovative ways to achieve progress," he said in his welcoming address during the manifesto launch. He added, "Today will go down in history as the day NPP laid the foundation to break the 8 to secure the future." For his part, Akim Abuakwa South Member of Parliament, Samuel Atta-Akyea has said.
