NPP Deputy Communications Director, Ernest Owusu-Bempah
Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu-Bempah, has claimed that no presidential candidate of the party can become President of Ghana without his involvement in the candidate’s election strategy.
Speaking in an interview on Asaasepa Radio, monitored by GhanaWeb, Owusu-Bempah stated that his vast political experience and dealings with key figures of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), including its founder, the late President Jerry John Rawlings, have exposed him to all the secrets of the NPP’s fiercest political opponent.
“I am the only youth in the NPP at the moment who can face the NDC squarely. Nobody in the NPP can confront the NDC better than I can. And I say this not out of arrogance. If anyone wants to be a presidential candidate in the NPP and I am not involved, they should forget it. I know all the secrets in this country.
I have been around former President Rawlings, who governed this country for 19 years. I have been around President Akufo-Addo, and I have been around former President J.A. Kufuor. I know what I am talking about. I know the secrets of this country. I know the NDC’s secrets. What is the point of fighting an enemy if you do not know their strengths and weaknesses?”
Owusu-Bempah added “I once presented a petition to President Mahama at his residence, and the entire NDC rank and file became jittery. If any other youth in the NDC had petitioned Mahama, it would not have carried such weight. That should tell you that I know how to hit the nerves of the NDC. I know everything about them—their strengths and weaknesses.”
