2024 Elections: Independent presidential candidate aims to break dominance of NPP and NDC

An aspiring Independent Candidate in the December 7 presidential election, George Twum-Barima-Adu, has vowed to takeover governance and transform Ghana.

He is positive to break the dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming general elections in the interest of Ghanaians.

Ghana has barely six months to go to the polls to elect an executive president and 275 lawmakers.

This has compelled political parties and other presidential candidates to intensify their campaign to seek the mandate of the people.

Mr. Twum Barima-Adu who has joined the 2024 presidential race is urging Ghanaians to snub both NPP and NDC and vote for him to takeover governance.

Speaking on Onua FM Etifi Nsem show, Saturday June 8, he criticised the NPP and NDC for failing to develop Ghana after their 32 years of governance.

He has downplayed the performance of these two major political parties after 32 years of their governance.

“It is only create loot and share after 32 years of governance by the NPP and NDC”.

They have nothing new to offer this country and I pray the electorates would understand this and vote for me to change the fortunes of Ghana, he implored.

He said on December 7, the electorates could vote for NPP and NDC parliamentary candidates but vote him as president.

Outlining his policies, Twum Barima-Adu promised a common prosperity for all, stressing that all public procurement and contracts would be reviewed to guarantee value for money as well as downsizing government.

He explained that his administration will ensure that “no government entity (including State Owned Enterprises) will enter into a contract without government review, input and approval.

He says he will ensure cutting down on unnecessary public expenditure, by operating within the constitutionally approved number of 19 cabinet ministers, with a total ministerial count of only 63.

On tackling galamsey, he said his government would enforce existing laws, and pass new laws where necessary to tighten the loopholes in existing laws, as well as provide alternative livelihoods.
