The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has charged voters to reset the country and re-direct its course from stagnation and corruption to jobs, women empowerment and progress on December 7 when they go to the polls.

Addressing various professional groups, including university lecturers, lawyers and nursing trainees, in Sunyani as part of her campaign tour of the Bono Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang called on the people to decisively vote for the NDC in the upcoming general elections.

“We have the option to reset this country. It is not going to be a joke, it is not going to be a child’s game but we either reset or we sink further. The choice is ours”, she said.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang noted that the fortunes of the country have dwindled since the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government assumed office in 2017.

For her, under the watch of the current government, Ghana is broke, the economy is on its knees, water bodies are polluted, with poor governance becoming the order of the day.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said Ghanaians have seen enough of bad leadership over the last eight years, urging professionals, including health workers, members of the academia, students and the general public to kick the NPP government out of office in the December 7 polls.

She said John Dramani Mahama, who is leading the NDC into the 2024 elections has the necessary experience to turn things around for the country, when elected as President.

She also charged the electorate to vote massively for the party's parliamentary candidates across the country.

“The campus should be the only place that they should be honest enough about what they believe in and explain it using logic. And it shouldn’t be because of where I come from and as for us that is how we vote. When this comes from students, when that comes from academic staff, it’s a pity”, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang stated.

For her, Ghanaians deserve a government that thinks about their welfare, hence the need to vote for the NDC.
