A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has stated that the success or failure of the ruling National Democratic Congress will not automatically determine the outcome of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking during a political discussion on Accra Based Citi FM, monitored by Kumasi Mail, the 2024 defeated NPP’s Flagbearer Dr. Bawumia’s campaign spokes person said he does not wish for the current John Dramani Mahama’s NDC led government to fail, stressing that national progress should be the priority of every Ghanaian regardless of political affiliation.
“I don’t expect this government to fail. I am not one of those people waiting for bad news every morning,” he said.
According to him, the NDC does not have to fail for former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to become president in 2028.
He argued that voters in the next election would focus more on policies, achievements, and future vision rather than simply punishing the incumbent government.
“In 2028, the question will not be how much the NDC failed to make Dr Bawumia president. The real question will be where the country is and who has the best vision to consolidate the gains made,” he stated.
Danies Aboagye explained that professionals and ordinary citizens, including teachers, nurses, mechanics, and business owners, would assess the policy proposals presented by political leaders before making their voting decisions.
He further urged the governing party to concentrate on delivering results and convincing Ghanaians that current economic challenges are temporary and manageable.
Touching on the debate over losses recorded by the central bank, Mr Aboagye said recent developments have demonstrated that central banks across the world can incur financial losses without necessarily indicating economic collapse.
He maintained that such losses should be evaluated within the broader context of economic management, inflation control, and national recovery efforts.
According to him, economic outcomes and policy credibility, rather than political attacks, will shape voter decisions ahead of the 2028 elections.
