Kwesi Pratt Jr., the Managing Editor of The Insight Newspaper, has raised alarm over what he described as a concerning political maneuver involving the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the lead-up to the 2024 elections. In an appearance on Good Morning Ghana, hosted by Randy Abby on Metro TV, Pratt made a shocking claim that the NPP had brought in ten unidentified Europeans to assist in boosting the party’s support in the Ashanti Region, a crucial battleground for the party in the upcoming general elections.
Pratt, a well-respected journalist with decades of experience, revealed that he had viewed a video showing the ten foreign nationals who allegedly arrived in Ghana at the invitation of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team. In the video, the individuals were seen wearing t-shirts emblazoned with Dr. Bawumia’s image, which Pratt found to be highly unusual and raised questions about their involvement in Ghana’s political affairs.
“What I saw was surprising,” Pratt said during the interview. “Why would a political party bring Europeans into the country, especially when there’s less than a month before the elections? What role are they playing in the NPP’s political strategy?” Pratt’s comments were pointed, with a clear undercurrent of skepticism. He questioned whether this move was part of a broader plan by the NPP to consolidate its power in the Ashanti Region, which has long been considered the party’s stronghold.
The Ashanti Region is historically known for its strong support for the NPP, with the party regularly winning both presidential and parliamentary seats in the area since the country adopted its 1992 Constitution. However, the 2024 elections present a different political landscape. The rise of independent candidate Alan John Kwadwo Nkansah, who has garnered significant attention in the region, has made it more difficult for the NPP to maintain its dominance there. The presence of foreign nationals in such a sensitive time could suggest that the party is trying to counter the shifting political tides in the region.
Pratt also raised concerns about the optics of involving Europeans in a Ghanaian election, questioning whether this intervention was appropriate, given the close proximity to the election date. “We must question the reasoning behind bringing in foreigners to help secure political support. Is this an attempt to manipulate the outcome of the election, or is it simply a desperate move by the NPP to maintain their grip on the region?” Pratt asked.
While the NPP has not officially confirmed the presence of these European nationals or their role in the party’s operations, the allegation has already sparked debate among political observers and citizens alike. Some view this as a tactic to ensure the NPP’s traditional stronghold remains intact, while others see it as an attempt to divert attention from growing dissatisfaction within the party’s base in the region.
As the 2024 election approaches, the Ashanti Region remains one of the most politically significant areas for both the NPP and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Any shift in voter sentiment in this region could have a considerable impact on the overall election results. With the NPP facing increasing competition, both from within and outside the party, this latest development adds another layer of complexity to an already tense political environment.
