A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) manifesto committee, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has taken a swipe at Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr Afriyie Ankrah made these remarks after Napo mistakenly urged voters to support NDC’s John Mahama in the December 7 election during a campaign rally.
The slip, which occurred twice, has sparked laughter and debates among Ghanaians.
One mistake is okay, but to repeat it twice means Napo needs help. He needs deliverance. He must be delivered because this is not normal. The spirit of the NDC and Mahama has taken over him. They are always dreaming about Mahama. It’s as if Mahama is living rent-free in their minds,” he mocked.
Mr. Afriyie Ankrah interpreted Napo’s blunder as evidence that the NDC is becoming increasingly attractive to voters, even within the ranks of their political opponents.
To him, Napo’s repeated mistake is a sign of internal struggles within the NPP, and he called on Ghanaians to embrace the NDC for genuine change.
“When an NPP leader like Napo calls on Ghanaians to vote for John Mahama, it shows that the NDC is now the most attractive party,” he said.
