Ghana Trade Union Movement (GUM) presidential candidate Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews says the political party will emerge victorious in the upcoming December 2020 general election with a 65 percent margin.
The standard-bearer, popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, based his comments on recent remarks by Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong about the authenticity of the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) victory in the 2016 elections.
“Kennedy Agyapong said that they know how they won the elections and that if the PNP did not treat him well, he will come out and tell the whole world. That someone in the vanguard of the Political Party says this indicates that there is something suspicious somewhere, “he said.
The GUM standard-bearer made this comment in an interview with Joy News shortly after his presentation of all relevant documents to formalize his candidacy for the presidential race at the EC headquarters on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
Addressing critics and the Coalition of National Election Observers (CODEO) report, which stated that the PNP and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are the only two parties that appear to be campaigning, he explained that unlike the 2 , GUM focuses its campaign movements in rural areas, where, according to him, the party draws the majority of its supporters.
“We have our supporters in the villages, but the elites believe that people with degrees, lawyers and others, should enter the political scene, and that is what they do. [NPP and NDC] You are doing.
One day we will show them that they are going to fall and we will get up, “he said.
Reverend Andrews praised the Election Commission (EC) for maintaining order during the voter registration exercise, adding that the credibility of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections depends on the Commission.
He also urged the president of the EC, Jean Mensa, to maintain neutrality in the face of the elections.
