The Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, Collins Owusu Amankwah, has downplayed the impact of the NDC on the NPP's chances of winning the 2024 elections in December.
According to him, the NDC can choose to boycott the elections and it will not prevent the elections from being held, reflecting his indifference to their potential threat to the NPP.
Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo on September 29, 2024, Owusu Amankwah further stated that the NDC's non-participation would boost the NPP's chances of winning and also reduce the number of candidates on the ballot vying for the presidency. "… 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.
