Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), Vice Presidential candidate for the Movement for Change, has sharply criticized Ghana’s two main political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing them of failing to address the nation’s critical needs after more than 30 years of combined rule.
During his six-day campaign tour in the Oti Region, KOD, a well-known lawyer, reaffirmed his stance that both parties, which have alternated in power for decades, have ignored pressing issues such as poor infrastructure, high unemployment, escalating living costs, and a struggling economy.
“For sixteen years each, the NPP and NDC have ruled this country, and what progress have we made?” KOD asked.
“Ghanaians continue to suffer from inadequate infrastructure, soaring unemployment, rising costs of living, and a failing economy. It’s evident that the leadership of both parties has been ineffective.”
His comments resonated with many in the Oti Region, where residents have long struggled with poor infrastructure and limited access to basic services.
KOD further pointed out that the constant back-and-forth between the NPP and NDC has done little to resolve these fundamental challenges, leaving many Ghanaians disillusioned and frustrated.
“For how long will Ghanaians keep switching between these two main political parties?” KOD asked. “They’ve had ample time, but the results speak for themselves. The country is still trapped in a cycle of poor governance.”
He cited the high cost of living, frequent power outages, and a struggling healthcare system as some of the urgent problems that need immediate attention.
He also pointed to the failure of successive governments to create enough jobs for the growing population, particularly the youth, as a major concern.
KOD passionately pleaded with the people of Oti Region and all Ghanaians to consider voting for the Movement for Change, a party he believes is committed to bringing transformative change to the country.
“The Movement for Change is not just a political party; it is a movement for the future of Ghana,” he declared. We are determined to break free from the past and implement a bold, transformational agenda to bring real relief to Ghanaians.”
