Vice President Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, has derided the New Patriotic (NPP) and its leader, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for not presenting the party’s manifesto to the public.
“When the referee whistled for round one: Launch your campaign, Akufo-Addo was not ready, while John Mahama was already at Cape Coast doing it. Round two: Launch your manifesto at Sunyani. Ever ready Mahama was on spot; Akufo-Addo’s own had been stolen by Asiedu Nketia,” he satirically stated.
The veep was addressing National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters at the Asawase Constituency during the campaign launch of the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, at Aboabo in the Asokore-Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region over the weekend.
Mr Amissah-Arthur stressed, “We’ve to be extra careful and vigilant because we do not know what our opponent has under his sleeves, especially when he has not shown up for the first and second rounds.”
He called for support towards the bids of Muntaka and President Mahama to ensure continuity and progress through the NDC’s transformational agenda.
Propaganda Chief
Baba Jamal, NDC MP for Akwatia in the Eastern Region and known propagandist, stated that the elephant represents a sign of destruction and that a vote for the NPP with its emblem as elephant means a vote for Ghana’s destruction.
The Asawase parliamentary candidate, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, appealed to the constituents not to contemplate changing him for any other person.
He touted measures and projects he and the NDC government had taken to improve the livelihoods of the constituents.
The event attracted a sizable crowd of NDC supporters and sympathizers, who defied the afternoon downpour to cheer the vice president and other speakers, including the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Laryea Afotey-Agbo.

So long as we do not want to look beyond these two parties, Ghana will never see any change. Do you think about Ghana first or NDC or NPP? If you sincerely say Ghana, why not look beyond NDC and NPP? If indeed it is Ghana first, I am sure you would like to look beyond the two parties for the following reasons:- 1. A 3rd Political Force will bring a more healthy parliamentary debate as each tries to outdo the other. Multi-party democracy then becomes meaningful. 2. A more competitive presidential and parliamentary election will make the winner sit up for fear of losing the next election which will take a longer time for them to be considered again. 3. "Sitting up" means reducing corruption, arrogance, political violence and abusive language and generally treating the Ghanaian with respect. 4. Ghanaians will benefit tremendously because politicians will then become humble, more understanding and tolerant. The concerns of the electorate will be taken seriously.
Look at this lazy vice president too. For 7.5 years he was on "auto-pilot" and it was as though he wasn't in this country. He has now been pushed so he is now spewing garbage. Dr Bawumia has completed so many "rounds" yet Amissah Arthur is yet to surface. Look at him talking trash. ey3 mobo p3!
