NDC campaigning strongly on social media but NPP will win Dec. 7 elections - Miracles Aboagye

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communication for the Bawumia Campaign, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is vigorously campaigning on Facebook and X to aid its victory in the December 7 general elections, but the governing New Patriotic Party will win the elections. 

According to him, the main job to win an election is done on the ground and not on social media platforms.

Speaking on Asempa FM, monitored by GhanaWeb, Miracles Aboagye emphasised that one cannot use social media to gauge the mood of the country as it cannot give an accurate picture of which party will win an election.

"We don't vote on Twitter, Twitter and Facebook will deceive you. We don't have Twitter at the polling station. You cannot use Twitter to gauge the mood of the nation. Whenever I tweet, I tweet for the NPP. Are you going to follow my posts? Twitter is full of people with agendas. We lost Greater Accra, but we won the election in 2020. We've gone on a tour in the Greater Accra region, and we are going to win by a bigger margin than we did in 2016. I am telling you. The NDC is campaigning on social media, but the game is on the ground. 

"Didn't you hear what the women said when Adom TV went to Makola? When we walked through Tudu on Saturday, didn't you see the women? Are they not in Greater Accra? We don't vote on Twitter. One person can have about 5 accounts on Twitter and will be tweeting all over the place and giving comments later. If you do analysis with this, you'll be deceiving yourself. If NDC will be using Twitter as the basis for their analysis, then they have lost the elections abysmally," he stated. 

The former Municipal Chief Executive for Akuapem North added further criticism of the NDC, insisting that the party has failed to convince Ghanaians why they should be voted for.

"NDC is counting on Twitter and Facebook, but we don't vote with that. We are going to beat the NDC in the parliamentary and presidential elections. You know why; they are incompetent in government, and the people were hoping that, as an opposition, they would do better. But even in opposition, they are incompetent. They are not giving the people a reason to vote for them; they are just saying the NPP has been in power for 8 years, so vote for Mahama," Miracles Aboagye added.

Dennis Aboagye Miracles say twitter users are noisemakers and that their votes do not count.
