Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), Vice Presidential candidate of the Movement for Change, has criticized Ghana’s two dominant political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), for failing to address the nation’s critical challenges after more than three decades of alternating rule.
Speaking during his six-day campaign tour of the Oti Region, KOD, a seasoned lawyer, accused both parties of neglecting urgent issues such as poor infrastructure, high unemployment, escalating living costs, and a weakening economy.
“For sixteen years each, the NPP and NDC have governed this nation, and what do we have to show for it?” KOD questioned. “Ghanaians are still struggling with the basics—poor infrastructure, skyrocketing unemployment, rising costs of living, and a failing economy. It is clear: the leadership of both parties has been ineffective.”
His comments struck a chord with many residents in the Oti Region, a constituency long plagued by limited infrastructure and restricted access to essential services.
KOD further argued that the NPP and NDC’s governance cycles have left the nation stuck in a loop of ineffective leadership, urging voters to reconsider their political loyalties. He pointed to challenges like the high cost of living, unreliable power supply, inadequate healthcare services, and limited job creation for the youth as key indicators of poor governance.
“For how long will Ghanaians keep switching between these two main political parties?” he asked. “They’ve had ample time, but the results speak for themselves. The country is still trapped in a cycle of poor governance.”
KOD appealed to the electorate, particularly in the Oti Region, to support the Movement for Change, describing it as a political alternative focused on transformative progress.
“The Movement for Change is not just a political party; it is a movement for the future of Ghana,” he declared. “We are determined to break free from the past and implement a bold, transformational agenda to bring real relief to Ghanaians.”
