Firstly, Akamba emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and unity within the NDC at the branch and constituency levels to safeguard the party’s interests and votes during the December polls. He asserts that hard work and unity among parliamentary candidates and branch executives are essential to prevent any attempts by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to manipulate the election results.
Moreover, Akamba suggests that the NDC should employ effective Information Technology experts to counter any fraudulent tactics employed by the Electoral Commission and the government in power. This underscores the party’s commitment to ensuring fair and transparent elections.
Regarding the missing BVD machines, Akamba expresses concern about the potential consequences for the upcoming elections and urges swift action from law enforcement agencies to investigate the matter thoroughly. He echoes the sentiments of the Minority in Parliament, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in addressing electoral irregularities.
Lastly, Akamba criticizes President Nana Akufo-Addo’s reluctance to assent to the LGBTQ+ bill, suggesting that his stance may be influenced by his perceived support for LGBTQ+ practices. This reflects broader political discourse surrounding social issues and government policies in Ghana.
