Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate, has urged voters to prioritize the competence of candidates over religious affiliations or other factors when casting their ballots in the upcoming elections.
He emphasised that Ghana requires a capable leader to drive progress and development in the nation.
In his remarks, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, commonly referred to as ‘NAPO,’ pointed out that the current political landscape calls for leadership grounded in expertise and capability.
He highlighted that Ghanaians should look beyond religious beliefs and focus on the qualifications and experience of the candidates vying for the presidency.
Speaking at an event in Afrancho as part of his Ashanti Regional campaign tour, NAPO declared that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a dedicated Muslim, is the most competent and suitable candidate to lead the country at this crucial time.
He praised Dr Bawumia's credentials and experience, asserting that these qualities make him the ideal choice for president.
NAPO reinforced the notion that Ghanaians are united by a common destiny, regardless of their diverse backgrounds.
He encouraged the electorate to come together and recognize the importance of selecting a leader with the knowledge and ability to govern the nation effectively.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh called on voters to make informed decisions in the upcoming elections, urging them to evaluate candidates based on their skills and vision for the country.
He believes that by doing so, Ghanaians can ensure that they elect a leader capable of guiding the nation toward a brighter future.
“In voting for the next president of our dear country, I’m urging you to cast your ballots for the person who can sustain the gains that have been achieved in the last 8 years.”
“Chiefs are neither Muslims nor pastors, but they give their lands for the establishment of churches and mosques for worship, and that is the beauty of being a Ghanaian."
“We respect each other because what unites us as Ghanaians is bigger and greater than any other thing. We should, therefore, be guided by this by voting for competence."
“Where a person is coming from or his/her religion is not important. What is important is what the person can do as president to lead our country into prosperity,” he urged.
