Fifi Kwetey, the General Secretary of Ghana’s opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed confidence in the electorate’s ability to recognise when leadership change is necessary, just days before the December 7 elections.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on December 2, Kwetey stated that Ghanaians have historically demonstrated wisdom in voting for change when required, and he believes there is a strong national desire for change this year.

“Five days to the election, we are cautiously optimistic. We believe the people of Ghana know what time it is, and it will turn out well,” Kwetey said. “I have faith in the people of Ghana. They are discerning, and they know when there’s a need for leadership change.”

The Ketu South MP drew comparisons to previous elections, noting key moments of change in 2000, 2008, and 2016. He suggested that the current political climate reflects a similar shift in public sentiment.

“In 2000, it was clear to anyone discerning that change was in the air. The same happened in 2008, and despite challenges in 2016, it was evident that Ghanaians were ready for a change,” he recalled. “This time, the mood is unmistakable, stronger than in 2008 and 2016. Ghanaians feel the state of the country and know the need for leadership that works.”

Kwetey also rejected criticisms of the electorate and political delegates, asserting that they are often underestimated. “Delegates and voters have a good sense of what is happening. They are far from naive,” he said.

The General Secretary criticised the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for its performance and suggested that Ghanaians are ready to hold the party accountable.

While refraining from making predictions, Kwetey emphasised the NDC’s belief in the public’s desire for change, and called for a peaceful election where the will of the people would prevail.

“We trust that the people will make their voices heard,” Kwetey concluded.
