Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare stated that only the Ashanti region and the Asante people determine who becomes president of Ghana, implying that other tribes and regions don’t matter if the Asantes overwhelmingly decide.
According to her the New Patriotic Party (NPP) winning the 2024 elections largely depends on the Ashanti Region.
Addressing party members and supporters at a recent event, Osei-Opare asserted that massive votes from the NPP stronghold could secure the party’s triumph regardless of outcomes in other regions.
According to her, achieving a minimum of 80% of registered voters in the Ashanti Region voting for the NPP would significantly bolster their chances of retaining power.
“In 2024, the fight belongs to us, the Ashantis. It is our fight, if we are able to win, that is the end… in the Ashanti region, if we are supposed to bring at least 80% of all the registered voters to vote, the counting of votes in all the other regions won’t make any difference,” he said during NPP campaign inauguration in the region over the weekend.
The Chief of Staff emphasized the need for concerted efforts to rally support from Ashanti constituents, urging party members to prioritize activities aimed at consolidating the NPP’s stronghold in the region.
“The Ashanti Region is the most important region, and therefore everything that they are doing, we have to support them and make the party firm in the Ashanti Region,” she stated.
