Ghana's NDC hails Trump's victory, eyes similar change in December elections

Accra, Ghana - Nov 7, 2024 - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana has extended congratulations to Donald J. Trump on his victory in the US presidential election, marking his return to the White House after being defeated by Joe Biden in 2020.

In a statement released on Wednesday Nov 6, NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey described Trump's win as a positive development for the NDC, especially with Ghana's own presidential elections looming on December 7, 2024.

NDC Draws Parallels with US Election

Fifi Kwetey noted that American voters chose experienced leadership, and similarly, Ghanaians are likely to reject the current government's record of "insensitivity, corruption, and economic mismanagement". This statement hints at the NDC's confidence in their own chances in the upcoming Ghanaian elections.

NDC's Commitment to Change

The NDC has reaffirmed its commitment to restoring "stability, integrity, and renewed hope" to Ghana, positioning itself as the viable alternative for voters seeking change. This move is seen as an attempt to capitalize on the momentum of Trump's victory and appeal to Ghanaian voters who are seeking a change in leadership.

Global Reactions to Trump's Win

World leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have congratulated Trump on his victory.

However, the international community is watching closely to see how Trump's presidency will impact global relations, particularly with countries like China.
