Samuel Sarkodee<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Former Chairman of the NPP-USA Columbus Ohio Chapter, Samuel Sarkodee, popularly known as Sam Sarks has offered a strong critique of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), for aligning itself with Donald Trump\u2019s recent political comeback.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview on Asaase Radio\u2019s flagship talk show \u201cPress Pass,\u201d Mr. Sarkodee warned that the NDC would fall flat in Ghana\u2019s December 7 elections, while he predicted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would retain power due to its ongoing economic initiatives and successes.<\/p>\n
Mr. Sarkodee expressed surprise at the NDC\u2019s eagerness to align with Trump\u2019s victory in the United States, suggesting that the two situations are not comparable.<\/p>\n
He further argued that aligning the NDC with Trump\u2019s success does not account for the distinct political dynamics in Ghana and the United States.<\/p>\n
Drawing a parallel to past elections, he recalled that despite Trump\u2019s loss in 2020, the NPP still maintained power in Ghana. \u201cIn 2016, Donald Trump won, and NPP also came into power. Even in 2020, when Americans decided to change leadership due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NPP held on to power,\u201d he stated, suggesting that this track record demonstrates the strength of the NPP\u2019s governance under President Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Sarkodee, a major factor behind Trump\u2019s comeback was his record on the U.S. economy, which he argued resonates with the NPP\u2019s economic accomplishments in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring Trump\u2019s era, the American economy experienced significant growth; jobs were kept within the country, and economic stability was prioritised,\u201d Sarkodee said.<\/p>\n
In his view, Trump\u2019s policies were a direct contrast to former Ghanaian President John Mahama\u2019s, whom Sarkodee blamed for economic issues such as the energy crisis known as \u201cDumsor\u201d and the suspension of teacher and nursing allowances.<\/p>\n
Turning his attention back to Ghana, Mr. Sarkodee noted that the current NPP government under Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has sustained the economy despite global challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NPP government has successfully managed the economy through a global pandemic, a feat that most governments struggled with worldwide,\u201d he said, conceding that while challenges remain, they pale in comparison to those experienced under the NDC.<\/p>\n
Mr. Sarkodee emphasised that Ghanaians have a clear choice, predicting that they would once again favour the NPP due to its continued focus on economic growth, digitalisation, and development initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhanaians will elect Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to continue the good work of President Akufo-Addo and further develop his own initiatives, particularly digitalization, which is critical for economic revival,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As Ghana heads into its December 7 elections, Mr. Sarkodee predicted that the NPP\u2019s record on economic management and modernisation efforts would be key to its success.<\/p>\n
In contrast, he dismissed the NDC as lacking a clear and compelling message for voters. \u201cIf I were the NDC, I wouldn\u2019t even try. They have no message,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
With barely two weeks left before the polls, Mr. Sarkodee\u2019s remarks underscore the NPP\u2019s confidence in securing another term based on its economic track record and stability initiatives, even as the opposition seeks to capitalise on global political shifts.<\/p>\n
