Ghana Freedom Party Throws Weight Behind NDC Ahead of Elections

The Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has officially endorsed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama, just days before the December 7 general election. This decision comes after the GFP's presidential candidate, Philip Appiah Kubi, was disqualified by the Electoral Commission (EC) due to errors in his nomination forms .

The GFP's founding leader, Akua Donkor, passed away, leaving a void in the party's leadership. After careful consideration, the party's executives decided to support the NDC, citing the alignment of their policies with Akua Donkor's vision .

According to GFP Deputy General Secretary Jerry Addo, the party supports the NDC's initiatives, such as the establishment of a Women's Development Bank and the abolition of academic fees for first-year tertiary students. Addo emphasized that the decision was not influenced by external factors, but rather by the party's careful examination of the manifestos and policies of various political parties .

The GFP's endorsement of the NDC is a significant development in the upcoming election. With the GFP's support, the NDC may gain an advantage in the election. However, it's essential to note that the outcome of the election is still uncertain, and various factors can influence the result .
