In the 2020 elections, the decision to vote for a particular candidate or not will not be influenced by postings on major social media platforms, says Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Gabby reasons that people’s choice of a candidate will be influenced by how that particular candidate has affected their lives.

He expressed that just three weeks before the elections, people have already made a decision about who they are going to vote for and that decision is not determined by what is said on traditional platforms and social networks.

“In general, this election has been decided. And it is not decided by social networks or even the media. It’s about the masses on the ground and what they know and feel about the two men and their impact on leadership, ”he posted on social media.

Gabby has, in the past, attacked the record of John Dramani Mahama, the standard-bearer of the Democratic National Congress.

He noted that Mahama’s record as president will cost him the 2020 elections, as Akufo-Addo has a more impressive record.

He said that while Mahama struggled to manage the economy, Akufo-Addo has implemented policies that change lives.

“You have a candidate who has just lost the last elections and his successor. This is the third time they will meet. It’s not about what the voters were promised, but about the candidates. The promise must be compared to what one did when given the opportunity to serve. “

“If Akufo-Addo comes today and says he will deliver for free [SHS]You will need to find out what you promised and if you delivered. If John Mahama comes today and says he will handle the economy better, I will ask him some serious questions because he inherited an economy rich in oil and in a matter of two years he sent us to the IMF to rescue us. added.
