2024 Election Would Be Evidence-based -MP For Tano North

During a parliamentary debate on the State of the Nation’s Address (SoNA) by President Akufo-Addo, Freda Akosua Prempeh, the Member of Parliament for Tano North Constituency, emphasized that the 2024 elections would not be a do-or-die affair.

Madam Prempeh stated that the campaign would be evidence-based, as President Akufo-Addo’s accomplishments in healthcare and infrastructure development in the country provided sufficient justification for this approach.

On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, while participating in a parliamentary debate on the State of the Nation’s Address (SoNA) by the president, Freda Prempeh spoke.

“… Mr president did not hide words, his presentation was evidence-based. Everything he has done for this country is there for everyone to know, and I can assure all of you that you know that each one of us sitting here has benefitted from this government one way or the other in terms of health, roads, and infrastructure delivery.

“If you have not benefited from this government, just tell your constituents that 2024 election is not going to be a do-or-die affair, but it is going to be an evidence-based campaign.” she stated

The debate on President Akufo-Addo’s State of the Nation Address, which he delivered on March 7, 2023, began in parliament. The president had fulfilled his constitutional obligation by delivering the address, in which he highlighted that the country was progressing well in terms of overall development, except for the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

However, the opposition minority criticized the current government’s perceived incompetence, which they believed had led to Ghana’s ongoing struggles.

In accordance with Article 67 of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, President Akufo-Addo presented the State of the Nation Address to parliament.
