<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presidential hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Kwabena Duffour has promised to bring back Ghana\u2019s economy to the path of growth and prosperity within just two years of his administration should he win the 2024 election under the ticket of NDC as its presidential candidate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said Ghana\u2019s economy has deteriorated under the Akufo-Addo led administration and that the time had come for Ghanaians to join him to rescue the country from the clutches of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Ghana is experiencing today is a complete departure from what we have held in the past as appropriate and reasonable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNon-stop corruption, arrogance, maladministration, lack of empathy with the suffering of Ghanaians, and the puzzling, lack of understanding of our economic crisis by our political leaders attest to this fact\u201d. He said<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, Duffour has promised that \u201cthe first year will be the restoration, the second year will be a complete recovery and we will see prosperity in two years\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Duffour made these remarks at his Ahoto Office in Osu after he received his nomination form from the Ashanti Regional Organizer of the NDC, Gloria Huze, who picked the forms on his behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further used the occasion to tout his achievements and remind Ghanaians of his competence when he served as the Finance Minister under the administration of the late Professor Mills between 2009 and 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur dear country, Ghana is sinking at a faster rate than we can all imagine. Between 2009 and 2012, Ghana was an enviable nation across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithin four years GDP Growth rate of 14.5% was achieved through well thought-out governance anchored on economy prudence and planning\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

NDC Opens Nomination<\/strong><\/p>\n

NDC on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, opened nominations for the election of its presidential and parliamentary candidates for the forthcoming elections in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gloria Huze and Antonio Edem Asinyo, the Spokesperson for the Campaign Team of Dr Kwabena Duffour, picked the forms on his behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Kwabena Duffour is the fourth person to pick the form to contest for the presidential candidate position of the party, hotly following the heels of former President John Dramani Mahama, Mr Kojo Bonsu, former Chief Executive Officer of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly and Ernest Kwaku Krobeah, a Businessman based in the United Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The presidential election has been scheduled to take place on May 13, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Promise to the Grassroots<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Duffour says he seeking to lead the NDC as its flagbearer to financially empower and give power back to the grassroots of the party<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the foundation and the formation of the National Democratic Congress, its cardinal pillar was and remains power to the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe power that allows every NDC member and Ghanaians from all walks of life to participate in politics, governance, and the economy of Ghana.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOurs shall be a governance system where members of the NDC and every Ghanaian shall be brave and courageous, to express themselves, to add ue to the political discourse of his party and the country\u201d\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that under his leadership, the grassroots of the party \u201cwill own their political decisions devoid of imposition from the top, and reject efforts to usurp the power that belongs to the grassroots\u201d\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Duffour further expressed optimism of winning the flagbearer race of the NDC, adding that surveys conducted indicate that the people of Ghana want something different.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExtensive Surveys carried out across the country and among the grassroots revealed that the people of Ghana want change in the direction of our governance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe people want that change to be led by a new face. A new face and a new man who has the practical know-how, who has a traceable track record, and who will lead Ghana from the front with integrity and love for his people\u201d, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
