The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed strong optimism that they will secure victory in the upcoming Dec. 7 general elections.
According to the party, just as voters in the United States have elected the Republican Party in the just-ended US Elections, Ghanaian voters will reflect similar support in their favour in the upcoming Dec. 7 polls.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Nov. 6, the NPP highlighted its longstanding close relationship with the Republican Party, noting shared values such as the elephant symbol, political orientation, and ideological alignment.
“To this extent, we are excited to learn that increasingly, centre-right philosophies are receiving overwhelming support across the globe,” the NPP said. “It is our fervent hope that just like the United States, Ghana’s “elephant party,” will also emerge victorious in the December polls.”
The party further noted that this connection is reinforced by both U.S. President Trump and Ghana’s Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, who share a commitment to implementing “bold solutions” for their respective countries.
“We wish the Trump administration the very best in their tenure of office as the incoming Bawumia administration, by God’s grace, hopes to build on the already fruitful relationship between the two political parties and nations for mutual benefits,” NPP said.
The party extended its congratulatory message to the Republican Party, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance.
