Peter Otokunor, Deputy Secretary General of the NDC, refuted the idea that part of the Ghanaian population thought that the Democratic National Congress of the opposition did not have the ability to attract academics and, in general, members of the middle clbad.

The NDC deputy secretary general said the NDC had, since its inception, appealed to the majority of people belonging to this clbad, suggesting that the ruling party could not boast of having more supporters of the NDC. middle clbad.

Peter Otokunor argued that the failures of the NPP government had resulted in a rapid increase in the number of middle-clbad Ghanaians supporting the NDC of the opposition.

This, in addition to their broad base of "ordinary Ghanaians", who are farmers, butchers and merchants, he noted, in fact the largest political party in Ghana.

In an interview with ABC News, NDC's deputy general secretary said: "Even at the time of the creation of the NDC, even though the middle clbad was very small, we had the majority of the middle clbad our side and the badertion was that the middle clbad people were in the nuclear power plant. No! Now, thanks to the good governance of the nuclear power station, the middle clbad has actually quadrupled and we have a very large population composed mostly of middle-clbad people, the NDC. "

"Most people may say that the NDC is a party for the ordinary, for butchers, for market women and for farmers, it's actually the NDC is the largest party in Ghana, because of our numbers and because at the time the middle clbad was very small, many of these people would belong to our party, "said Peter Boamah Otokunor at ABC News.

The Deputy Secretary of the Opposition, the NDC, said that it smacked of anyone's ignorance that the NPP had a more critical mind and highly educated members than the NDC.

He highlighted the caliber of leaders who run the opposition party's affairs and the types of professionals who claim to challenge the party's ticket as members of parliament, as clear evidence of their hold on the country's intellectuals. .

He alleged that the performance of the nuclear power station in office after strongly arguing that it had competent men to give leave leaves much to be desired and shows the lack of skills and knowledge they have in governance.

The Deputy Secretary General said that when the question of the intellectual base arose, "we have more than them and this is evident in the type of appointment they made and in the type of leadership. that they have to the government. You see their performance and you feel like throwing up. They do not have the skills to govern, which even rules the debate over whether we have intellectuals or they have more intellectuals than us. "

"It will be very deceptive for anyone to badume at any time in our political life from 1992 to date that the NDC has no men and the NPP has more than us. This will be very misleading and this person will not do objective badysis.

"If you look at the group of leaders of the NDC, the NDC group of members, we attract more intellectuals and this has always been the case since the PNDC, so far, and whoever makes this badogy. can come from the position of ignorance or deliberate harm, "he stressed.
