The anticipated buzz around the manifesto launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) may just die out soon after the event.
This is because the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that its leader will host the media on August 25, 2024, a day after the NDC’s event scheduled to take place in the Central Regional town of Winneba.
A statement signed by Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, said, “this engagement follows the successful launch of the 2024 Manifesto of the New Patriotic Party”.
It explained that, “This very important media engagement is part of a series of activities lined up by Dr. Bawumia to deepen the dissemination of the 2024 Manifesto”.
Dr. Bawumia, it said, “is strongly convinced the Ghanaian people deserve to have a complete view and proper understanding of the vision of their leaders before the 2024 December polls, and the manifesto properly sets the context for the conversation”.
This announcement comes when almost all is set for the NDC Manifesto launch on Saturday, August 24.
It is perceived as a strategy to take the shine off the NDC’s event and redirect it towards the NPP and its flagbearer.
