Election 2024: I am happy with Ghana's choice - Nana Ohene Ntow
A senior advisor to the founder of the Movement for Change, Nana Ohene Ntow has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of Ghana's presidential election, despite his preferred candidate not winning.
He acknowledged that although the Movement for Change did not achieve a dramatic transformation, the election outcome still represented a significant change for Ghana.
In an interview with TV3 on Dec 14, Ohene Ntow emphasized the importance of change, warning that maintaining the status quo would have been disastrous for Ghana. He cited concerns over corruption, mismanagement, and economic hardships.
The Movement for Change's core objective was to advocate for meaningful and measurable change. Although the election outcome was not as transformational as hoped, Ohene Ntow remained optimistic about Ghana's future.
“The most important thing Alan and the team stood for is change, a change that can be measured. We wanted a certain type of change and some quality of change. But at the end of the day, the status quo was not maintained at least in some sense there is change.
“It was not as dramatic as transformational as the movement for change that Alan Kyeremanteng and some of us will have wanted to see, but I am personally very happy even though my preferred candidate Alan Kyeremanteng did not make such an impact.”
“It was clear that had Ghanaians voted to maintain the status quo of the NPP, that would be a major disaster. If in the face of the level of corruption that we are seeing, real or apparent if in the face of this level of arrogance of power, if in the face of the level of mismanagement and economic hardships, if in the face of galamsey menace, and the destruction of natural resources and water bodies and so many other facts and yet NPP could win an election, then Ghana was finished,'' he added.
