A
senior
member
of
the
Movement
for
Change,
Hopeson
Adorye,
has
made
a
bold
prediction
regarding
the
fate
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP)
in
the
upcoming
general
elections.
Adorye
believes
that
widespread
dissatisfaction
with
Dr.
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh,
popularly
known
as
NAPO,
will
lead
to
the
party’s
defeat
and
potentially
push
them
into
opposition.
In
an
interview
with
Nana
Yaa
Brefo
on
Onua
FM,
July
4,
Adorye
emphasized
that
his
remarks
were
not
driven
by
personal
animosity
towards
NAPO,
whom
he
considers
a
friend
and
a
brother
as
“Opoku
Prempeh
is
a
good
friend
of
mine
and
a
brother.
On
a
personal
score,
he
is
very
good.
He
is
a
real
human,
he
is
forceful
as
well,”
highlighting
their
personal
bond.
The
politician
was
quick
to
point
out
that
it
is
the
general
sentiment
of
the
people
towards
NAPO
that
he
believes
will
be
the
deciding
factor
in
the
NPP’s
potential
downfall.
“The
general
feeling
of
the
people
towards
Dr.
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh
is
what
will
take
the
NPP
into
opposition.
The
general
feeling
of
the
people,
that
is
what
will
take
the
NPP
to
opposition,”
he
reiterated,
underscoring
the
potential
political
ramifications.
Adorye
went
on
to
predict
that
the
NPP’s
loss
would
be
historic
with
Dr
Prempeh
as
the
party’s
running
mate,
in
his
own
words,
“The
loss
of
the
NPP
will
be
historical,
their
loss
will
be
historical,”
he
stated,
foreseeing
a
significant
shift
in
the
political
landscape.
According
to
Adorye,
the
NPP
is
expected
to
place
third
in
the
general
elections,
trailing
behind
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
and
the
Movement
of
Change,
which
he
supports.
“For
this
general
election,
the
NPP
will
place
third
with
NDC
and
Alan’s
party,
Movement
of
Change,
in
the
run-offs,”
he
said.
As
the
political
landscape
in
Ghana
heats
up,
Adorye’s
comments
add
to
the
growing
discourse
on
the
NPP’s
electoral
prospects.
Whether
his
predictions
will
materialize
remains
to
be
seen.
