The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Youth Organizer, George Opare Addo, has stated that the party doesn\u2019t underestimate the capabilities of Independent Presidential aspirant Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen in the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n
He indicated that Mr. Kyerematen would be treated as one of their political opponents if he appeared on the ballot paper.<\/p>\n
The NDC National Youth Organizer stressed that the party will strategize to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the leader of the Movement for Change.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NDC doesn\u2019t take anybody for granted. If you know the history of the NDC and you know what happened to us in 2000 when Gossie Tandoh broke away, it affected us. So if Alan is going to be on the ballot, we will treat Alan as any other political party, and we take every election seriously. If he makes it through the Electoral Commission\u2019s processes and comes on December 7, he\u2019s on the ballot, then NDC is going to treat him like any other political party.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has his strengths and weaknesses, and so when we are factoring in how our campaign is going to look like, we will look at Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and what he brings on board. What he\u2019s going to take out from both the NDC and NPP. And we will fashion out a strategy to deal with him, so we don\u2019t underestimate Alan Kyerematen at all. We will treat all of them as our political opponents, the kind of messages they will be preaching, and we will be ready for them,\u201d he said on The Citiuation Room<\/em><\/strong> on Citi TV<\/strong> on February 8, 2024.<\/p>\nOpare Addo rejected the assertion by a member of Dr. Bawumia\u2019s campaign team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, that it would take 20 to 30 years for any other political party to break the duopoly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at how political parties operate, you mistakenly make that assumption. The Ghanaian voter is becoming sophisticated by the day. The kind of conversations that are going on today, 5, 10 years ago, you could sound how Dennis Miracles Aboagye is sounding. But I don\u2019t want to believe that it will take 20 or 30 years. We the politicians, the kind of things we say about ourselves, in due time you will find a third force springing up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Kyerematen is carving himself as the third force who can break the duopoly in Ghanaian politics.<\/p>\n
