The Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has highlighted the impressive performance of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the opening of Parliament on December 16, Dr Ato Forson described the December elections as a revolution against the poor governance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He stressed that the 2024 election results were a direct response to a government that often dismissed opposing views as “detractors, cynics, naysayers, Sanbalat, and Tobias.”
“Mr Speaker, what happened at the polls on December 7 was a revolution, the people’s revolution! It was a revolt against a government that was obstinate, insensitive, high-handed and dismissive of public opinion.
“It was a revolt against a government that called people with dissenting views names such as detractors, cynics, naysayers, Sanbalat and Tobias”
The Minority Leader stated that the NPP has been punished for its poor governance, economic mismanagement, obstinacy, greed, state capture, corruption, and arrogance of power.
“Ghanaians have clearly shown that they cannot be taken for granted and that when it matters the most, they will either reward those in government or punish them for their sins.
“Mr Speaker, it is obvious that the NPP has been punished for its poor governance, economic mismanagement, obstinacy, greed, state capture, corruption, arrogance of power, impunity, disrespect, lawlessness and persecution of its political opponents.”
He conveyed his gratitude to the people of Ghana for their substantial support of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the elections.
Additionally, he extended his best wishes to the Members of Parliament who were not re-elected, hoping for success in their future pursuits.
