Dr. Bryan Acheampong, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, has made an effort to elucidate his recent remarks regarding the elections scheduled for December 2024, which have caused a stir and been accused of inciting violence.
Speaking on Monday’s Good Afternoon Ghana show on Metro TV, the MP for the Abetifi seat clarified that his claim that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would win the election “by all means necessary” had been misquoted and misinterpreted.
Bryan Acheampong, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, spoke to the crowd last weekend during his campaign tour in Nsawam and declared that the party will continue to hold power using any means necessary.
He emphasized, nevertheless, that neither his comments nor their suggestion that the NPP would commit crimes in order to win the election were meant to inspire violence.
He clarified, however, that he was only highlighting the party’s will to win the election through legal means.
“I never said what they are accusing me of,” Acheampong said. “I was simply stressing that, as a political party, our aim is to win the election, and we are doing everything possible to achieve that” he clarified.
Dr. Bryan Acheampong, the MP for Abetifi, most likely made reference to the NPP’s confidence and their chances of winning the election given the performance of the government and the party’s substantial support base.
He explained “We have a natural core support base, and the government’s performance speaks for itself,” he explained.
“The NDC is trying to disgrace the NPP to gain votes, but we are confident that we will win.”
“When I said the NPP will win, I meant it because I know how hard the government has worked,” he stated.
“My statement was not meant to be taken negatively.”
