2024 elections not about running mates, rather the candidates themselves – Mussa Dankwa

Executive Secretary of the Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwa has said that the 2024 general elections are about the flagbearers of the parties, not their running mates.

In his view, the running mates will not play a significant role in the chances of their parties winning the elections.

“This election is not about running mate, people are looking at the flagbearers,” he said on TV3 on Saturday, July 27 during the coverage of the 2024 campaign launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Running mates will not change anything in this election,” he stressed.

During the launch of the campaign, a member of the manifesto committee of the NDC Elvis Afriyie Ankrah said the idea of the NDC is to win 14 out of the 18 seats in the Northern Region.

He explained that although the Volta Region is the stronghold of the NDC, it is the northern region that drives the energy of the party.

He told TV3’s Mawuena Egbeta in Tamale on the sidelines of the campaign launch that  “The idea is that we are going to win 14 seats out of the 18 seats in 2024.”

He further criticized the Akufo-Addo for economic mismanagement.

The mismanagement of the economy, he said, will cause Ghanains to vote for the NDC.

“People have seen the abysmal performance every single sector of the economy is in a mess so the people have through,” he said.
