Desmond Kwame Abrefah, an Independent Presidential candidate says he is determined to tackles Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and opposition leader John Mahama in the 2024 general election in a bid to become the first independent president of Ghana
According to Mr. Abrefah, his “Save the Nation Movement” has been widely accepted Ghanaians and that would help him break the jinx in 2024.
The NPP and the NDC have for years dominated the country’s political scene due to the absence of a strong 3rd force like the “Save the Nation Movement” initiated by Mr. Abrefah.
Speaking in an interview with this paper at his office at Ayi-Mensah in Accra yesterday, Mr. Abrefah disclosed that his intention to contest the 2024 presidential elections as an independent candidate was a call from the Almighty God to rescue the country from its current bad state.
He attributed challenges faced by Ghanaians to poor leadership by both the NDC and the NPP leaders that have governed the country past 30 years.
According to Mr. Abrefah who is also a servant of God, the only way Ghana can be liberated is when Ghanaians reject both NPP and NDC and vote for him in the 2024 general elections. “I am not seeking for power to embezzle MPs common fund. It is meant to develop the country and improve livelihoods of the ordinary people “he assured.
He assured Ghanaians that his government would be an all-inclusive one unlike what is being practiced by the NPP and NDC. He promised to use local expertise for the development of the country rather than expatriates. Mr. Abrefah expressed worry over why the leadership of both the NDC and the NPP have for the past years ignored university graduates and instead, bring in expatriates for executes contracts at the expense of the tax payer .
“I believed Ghanaians have for several years witnessed the poor leadership of both the NPP and the NDC and am therefore appealing to the good people of this country to try me (Desmond Kwame Abrefah) for a great change that would reflect in the eyes of all Ghanaians and the World at large” he stated.
