NPP inducing rural voters with salt, maggi cubes and kerosene – Joyce Bawah

Joyce Bawah Mogtari, the Campaign Spokesperson and Special Aide to John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is attempting to influence rural voters with material items such as salt and kerosene.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, October 29, Madam Mogtari claimed that these gestures are aimed at swaying rural communities ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Madam Mogtari criticised the NPP’s approach, stating that the ruling party is avoiding discussions about the economic challenges it has brought upon the country.
She argued that, instead of addressing critical issues facing the people, the NPP is focusing on short-term inducements to garner support from vulnerable rural populations.
In her post, Madam Mogtari urged rural voters to recognize these gestures as superficial attempts to win their support without genuine intentions to address their needs.
She emphasised that these material gifts do not reflect the broader struggles many Ghanaians are facing due to the current economic situation.
Mr Mahama's aide concluded by encouraging rural voters not to allow themselves to be misled or influenced by temporary gifts, urging them to consider the hardships they have endured over the past years when casting their votes.
"Dear voter, we are currently working in Ghana’s most rural constituencies, where most of you have probably never visited.
In these communities, the former whizkid Bawumia and his corrupt aficionados are no longer preaching economics or offering real bold solutions to our hardships and poverty and yes poverty here is real, lack of infrastructure and even basic health facilities, and yet they are offering little innocuous inducements, salt, pepper, kerosene, Maggie cubes etc in return for votes," she posted.
