Ghana votes on 7th December 2024 – Who wins between the two political party giants?

Many Ghanaians believe that the two major political parties, NPP and NDC, are and act the same when in power—that they don't care about the welfare of the average Ghanaian, and that politicians come into office with the sole aim of enriching their pockets.

As much as I don't subscribe to statements of generalization, I partly, but not wholly, agree with many Ghanaians' thoughts about politicians. Every now and then, a unique and transformational political leader emerges for a time or season. One does not need to be a political Einstein to realize that this election is between the NPP and NDC. The other parties or movements will not win this race but will make some impact, with Nana Kwame Bediako coming third.

I do not foresee this election going into a second round as many pundits predict. Elections have surprises and shockers, so one can never rule anything out.

The prevailing question is: Who is the lesser of the two evils—the NPP or NDC?

Ghanaians are complaining of the current hard economic times under the NPP while also recounting the dumsɔ era under the NDC and Mahama. Each voter will cast his or her vote based on priorities. I believe some will vote based on their finances and economic needs, while others will prioritize infrastructure and educational transformation.

What will I do as I walk to cast my vote?

The question of who is the lesser of the two evils will linger in my mind. There will always be corrupt elements in both the NPP and NDC. For me, the educational transformation under the NPP, led by the second-to-none Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, will be my tilting point. The numerous roads and interchanges will be my deciding factor. The numerous hospitals will be my game-changer.

I believe that when I vote for Bawumia and he is elected POG, justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. He will enact policies that will bring economic upliftment and strength to all corners of Ghana.
