Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has warned voters in the Ashanti Region against casting their ballots for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
According to him, the NDC lacks a genuine commitment to the development of the region, and any vote for the party would essentially be wasted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe vote in elections for development,\u201d Dr. Prempeh explained. \u201cIf you cast your vote for a political party that does not prioritize your progress, then you have wasted that vote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicknamed \u2018Napo\u2019, the Vice Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) emphasized that only the NPP has the best interests of the Ashanti Region at heart and urged voters to support them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NDC is not committed to the proper development of the Ashanti Region,\u201d Dr. Prempeh declared during a rally in Tweapeasi, within the Odotobiri Constituency, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He further pointed out that despite receiving significant votes from the Ashanti Region in past elections, the NDC consistently neglects the region\u2019s needs whenever they are in power.<\/p>\n
Napo expressed his surprise and disappointment at the NDC\u2019s discriminatory attitude towards the people of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of votes that the NDC obtains from the Ashanti Region during elections is very huge, yet the NDC still consider Ashanti as a region that doesn\u2019t support them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe progress of the country, notably the Ashanti Region, always comes to a standstill whenever the NDC occupies the seat of government and I think it\u2019s deliberate\u201d, he fumed.<\/p>\n
He said he could give countless examples of how the NDC deliberately introduced some harmful policies to punish the people of the Ashanti Region when they (NDC) were in government.<\/p>\n
Citing a key example, Napo said that former President John Kufuor\u2019s NPP administration introduced the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to boost the healthcare of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut immediately the NDC assumed the mantle of leadership, they fiendishly introduced capitation for NHIS only in the Ashanti Region just to create hardship for the innocent people\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is deliberate because clearly you can see that the NDC and their leaders have something against the people of the Ashanti Region. We should, therefore, reject the NDC on December 7\u201d, he advised.<\/p>\n
He said John Mahama, after discriminating against this region, turned around and said, \u201cAs for the people in the Ashanti Region even if you construct their roads with gold, they will never appreciate\u201d.<\/p>\n
Napo argued that everything shows that the NDC and their leader, John Mahama, does not have the Ashanti Region in their plans \u201cso please don\u2019t vote for the NDC and waste your precious\u00a0votes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
