NDC can't be same as NPP in corruption fight

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has firmly rejected the suggestion that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are alike in governance especially in the area of corruption.

During the NDC’s manifesto launch on Saturday, August 24, 2024, Ablakwa stressed the NDC’s dedication to combating corruption, setting it apart from the current administration.

Mr Ablakwa dismissed the notion that both parties are indistinguishable, asserting, “You hear on a daily basis, some people say the two parties appear the same, NPP and NDC are the same. In this fight against corruption, we refuse, we reject that baseless and unfounded claim that the two parties are the same, we are not the same. The NDC is different.”

He underscored the differences between the two parties, pointing to the National Cathedral project as a key example. Ablakwa criticised the government for misleading Ghanaians, destroying significant buildings, and misappropriating funds.
