NPP Flagbearer Election: Vote For A Candidate Based On Competence And Not Religion – Matthew Opoku Prempeh

Matthew Opoku Prempeh says the basis for the voting for a candidate in an election should be based on competence and not religion.

Prempeh, the key determinant in an election should be one’s ability to bring the needed prosperity to the people.

Speaking at a meeting with artisans and delegates of the Manhyia South constituency NPP in Manhyia on Friday, 27th October, 2023, he said Ghana over the period has had the phenomenon of all religions co-existing peacefully, therefore it is dangerous for anybody to play the religious card during any election whether in internal party or national elections.“I, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, I was named after a Muslim and the Regional Chief Imam of the Ashanti Region is my brother.

What this should tell you is that, in my family some are Christians and some are Muslims.

It is therefore unacceptable to create partitions and divisions on religious lines”, he admonished.  The Manhyia South lawmaker added members of the NPP must be proud of the achievements of the government over the past 7 years and be resolute in canvassing for the party.

Prempeh urged delegates of Manhyia South to exercise their democratic franchise peacefully on November 4, 2023 stressing the unity of the party is crucial for a decisive NPP victory in 2024.
