Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed optimism at the chances of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) chances in the upcoming general elections indicating that the time being spent by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on solving its internal problems will not affect its ability to win the 2016 election.

 

In an interview with Joy News' Beatrice Adu, the former President Kufuor said the NPP is ready for this year’s polls.

“Naturally, I would wish that my party was holding together firmly but I tell you they say a week may be a long time in politics…I am telling you NPP will come together firmly," he said, according to the report.

The party has in the last year been riddled with  divisions within its leadership leading to the deaths of some party members including the then Upper East Regional Chairman, Adams Mahama who was murdered in Bolgatanga by suspects linked to the then National Chairman, Paul Afoko.  The cracks deepened after the suspension Mr Afoko and General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.

Despite these setbacks, former President Kufuor, also a member of the NPP's Council of Elders, believed that the party will excel in the upcoming elections urging Ghanaians to vote out what he describes as “the not-so-effective NDC government and favour the NPP.”

“When you try party A for some time and it is not delivering to your expectation, wisdom will tell you please change your hands. Give the other side a chance,” he added.

He promised that when the NPP wins power, problems facing Ghana’s health, energy and other sectors will be solved to improve the lives of Ghanaians.
