NPP Welcomes EIU Report But...

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has welcomed EIU’s recent report predicting victory for them in 2020 but says they will not be complacent.

Per the forecast which was released last week, “it will be difficult for the NDC under Mr Mahama to portray itself as the better custodian of Ghana’s economy, especially as the country’s growth outlook is fairly strong. We, therefore, expect Mr Akufo-Addo and the NPP to secure re-election in 2020” a portion of the forecast indicated.

A member of the NPP in reaction to this on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, said: "we don’t have enough reasons to dispute the report. We will accept it but we are accepting it in moderation bearing in mind that elections are won as a result of hard work. We will run commentary with this report but we will never be complacent"
