Prof. Gyampo had Just Told Akuffo Addo and the NPP the Hard Truth
An Associate Professor of political science, who is also the director of the Center for European Studies of the University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyamfo has told the ruling New Patriotic Party and the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, the hard truth about the 2020 elections.
Speaking on United Television’s Programme the Critical Issues, Professor Ransford Gyampo told Host, Afia Pokuaa that, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a major challenge going into the 2020 general elections.
He indicates that, the NPP has a lot of achievements they can showcase to the people of Ghana, but they have a communication deficit.
He indicates that, communicators of the NPP, who are supposed to trumpet the achievements have rather resorted to propaganda and are discussing issues which are not relevant to the ordinary voter.
He however disclosed that, it is only the Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, who is communicating the gains of the NPP properly to Ghanaians and he is really making impact.
“I have to tell NPP the truth, if they really are serious for business in this election year, then they should strengthen their communication front. Their only problem is communication. Telling people what they have done is a major issue. They speak only about propaganda, and propaganda is not relevant to the voter. They should rethink about how they communicate to Ghanaians. So far, it is only Dr. Bawumia who has proven to be the best when it comes to communication.
He speaks about fact and figures and it is always interesting listening to him. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah was doing well initially but now, he is also gone into propaganda. Being able to articulate what they have done is lacking”. Professor Ransford Gyampo told Afia Pokua during the discussion.
