Parliamentary standoff part of NDC’s scheme to win election 2024 – NPP

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has alleged that the recent standoff in Parliament is part of a broader strategy devised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to win the 2024 elections.

According to the NPP, the alleged strategy is outlined in a document titled “Winning the 2024 Elections and Beyond: A Comprehensive NDC Strategy,” which the party claims was designed to leverage the NDC’s near-majority in Parliament to disrupt government business.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, October 23, the NPP’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, accused the NDC of working closely with Speaker Alban Bagbin to intentionally frustrate the ruling government’s legislative agenda.

Ahiagbah claimed that since 2021, the NDC has been executing this plan, creating parliamentary gridlock and derailing essential government business, all as part of their electoral strategy for 2024.

The NPP urged Ghanaians to be aware of these alleged tactics, warning that they could undermine national governance and stall critical development initiatives.

“This strategy the NDC has operated with since 2021 is on full display with what is happening in parliament. So we have a situation where the NDC, for some odd reason, decides they want to be the majority and, therefore, in partnership with the speaker actively aids that seeming coup détat by the NDC.

“But the point that ought to be made is that this is not an isolated incident, this is part of a coordinated effort by their own design outlined in its books to ensure that they use every means available fair or foul to disrupt government business.”
