The vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has stated that it is an abomination (haram) for any Muslim to vote for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Dr Prempeh, the NDC does not like Muslims.
Addressing a mammoth rally at Larabanga in the Savanna Region, as part of his campaign, he called on the Muslim communities to stand with the NPP to transform their lives, describing it as the only political party with true concern for the welfare and development of Muslims.
“The people of Damongo, having charted a new cause with the outstanding parliamentary representation of Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor, are committed to voting overwhelmingly for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia while continuing to support their dedicated MP,” NAPO said.
He encouraged Muslim supporters to vote for the NPP, describing it as the only political party with true concern for the welfare and development of Ghana’s Muslim population.
Opoku Prempeh went further to accuse the NDC of deliberately removing the image of iconic Larabanga Mosque from Ghana’s currency, a symbol of historical and religious significance to the Muslim community, during the administration of former President Jerry John Rawlings.
“This act is a clear indication of what has characterized the NDC’s “dislike” for Muslims,” he said.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh called on all Muslim voters to stand in solidarity with the NPP, asserting that an NPP victory would bring meaningful change and empowerment to Muslim communities across Ghana.
He encouraged supporters to rally their family members, friends, and fellow community members to support the NPP, describing the party as the best hope for fostering unity, respect, and progress for Muslims in Ghana.
Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Damongo, who was also present at the rally, highlighted the achievements of the NPP in the Damongo constituency.
He reiterated the NPP’s commitment to improving infrastructure and social services in the region and expressed confidence that the NPP would maintain its influence in the Damongo constituency and expand its reach throughout the Savannah Region.
