PNC General Secretary, Atik Mohammed has called on the outgoing National Democratic Congress (NDC) government and the various opposition parties to liaise with the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to develop the economy.
According to him, Ghana's democracy has matured and this is not time for the parties to seek after competition with the newly-elected government.
“I think Ghana has grown. In these elections, I’ve seen that our democracy has matured. So, we should begin to focus more on cooperation after elections, other than competition. Politics is about competition and cooperation but we compete from day 1 to the end. That is not to say that we, in opposition, will allow the NPP to go astray . . . I am very happy for the NPP. I am happy for Ghana.”
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', he said Ghanaians have voted for change and their decision should be respected by the political figures in the country.
“The power of this change, I haven’t seen it before. It’s a record breaking . . . NDC was promising a tsunami. Eventually, they got consumed and it affected us too . . . The change was just huge. And I am only hoping that the change that the Ghanaian electorates voted for, everybody else will help in ensuring that that change really means change and that our lives will be better," he advised.
Atik Mohammed further urged leadership and members of his party, the People's National Convention (PNC), to restructure the party so as to take the baton from the NPP government in the next elections.
“Even though we lost, which is a painful thing but I take consolation in the fact that the change project eventually won. And this is an opportunity for the PNC to do serious introspection and to do reconstruction.” |
