December 7: NPP, NDC have failed you; don’t vote for them – GUM founder urges voters

The presidential candidate of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews has criticised the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing the two parties of destroying the country’s economy.

Addressing a news conference on the state of the country, the GUM leader was emphatic that a vote for the NPP or NDC on December 7 will only signify the country’s endorsement of “corrupt governance.”

The Ghana Union Movement placed third in the 2020 elections after the party obtained 105,565 votes representing 0.805 percent out of the 13,434,574 total valid votes cast.

This year, GUM has made it onto the ballot paper again but this time not visible on campaign trails, a phenomenon it’s founder and leader, Reverend Dr Christian Kwabena Andrews blamed on media blacklisting.

He said despite the transformative policies contained in the party’s manifesto, no media outlet talks about it.

Speaking ahead of this year’s general elections, the GUM founder also known in the religious cycle as Sofo Kyiriabosom urged the electorates to reject the two major political parties at the polls having accused them of failed leadership for over three decades.

He would not comprehend why members of the NPP and NDC continue to allegedly acquire state assets, loot the state and mismanage affairs of the economy.

Justifying why the electorates should not vote any of the two major parties into power, the GUM leader maintained that, the NDC and NPP have been in power for so many years but nothing has changed.

“They only come to satisfy their interest that is why they are campaigning for people to vote for them after that they will loot the country and leave,” he added.

On policy implementation, the GUM presidential candidate announced that a Ghana under his leadership in 2025, will initiate moves to reduce parliamentary seats, build new cities in the Eastern, Western, Ashanti and Northern regions while carrying through with Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s legacies of factory construction to curb unemployment.
