Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketia, has noticed that the stronghold politics is gradually fading away.
He says no political party can boast of a stronghold in the current political space because the electorates are becoming very discerning.
General Mosquito, as he is affectionately called, indicated that it is time political parties refresh their strategies or miss out on votes in places they call their strongholds.
“A lesson politicians have to learn is that if you are doing something and Ghanaians are silent, it is not because they are afraid of you. They will look at you, but when they get fed up with what you’re doing, they will drag you out,” he said.
“The other lesson that both parties have learned is that the voters are not your sole preserve. The stronghold of politics is gradually fading out. What I saw in the Ashanti region is that the NPP thrived on misinformation, and so most of the radio stations in the region which defended the NDC were dealt with in the region. All the stations were pushing the NPP agenda. They were using history and misinformation in the Ashanti Region, but this year, we collapsed that, and it did not work for them,” he disclosed while speaking to Ambassador TV.
“We have learnt lessons that seats in the Ashanti region are not the sole preserve of NPP. We now know that we can take any seat in the Ashanti Region,” he said.
