Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a key member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has indicated that the party has a lot of work to do in order to win the 2024 general elections and break the 8.
Gabby, who visited President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s constituency in Kyibi, expressed pleasure with the process and thanked the delegates for voting massively for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
He stated that the immense affection and support exhibited to the Vice President demonstrates the public’s faith in the administration.
“When I got here, it was peaceful, and it is the president’s constituency, and they have voted overwhelmingly for the Vice President. They came out to vote massively for the Vice President, and it shows that they have confidence in the government,” Gabby told the media.
“We have a lot of work to do to break the eight-year cycle, but it starts with massively endorsing the candidate so that we don’t encounter problems,” he emphasized further.
A total of 203,439 delegates are voting in the election, with 436 voting at the party’s headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra, to choose a flagbearer to represent the party in the 2024 general elections.
