The Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing Mr Alban Sumana Bagbin is predicting a one-touch victory for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in next year’s general elections.
Alban Bagbin says Ghanaians will honour President Mills with a resounding victory because he has kept faith with them.
Speaking to Joy News’ Seth Kwame Boateng, the Housing Minister said he was also optimistic the face-lift the NDC government has given the country will be one of their several trump cards.
But even more importantly, he believes, “His Excellency’s integrity, his honesty, his humility, his love for the people and what he has delivered for the people,” will win the elections for the NDC.
The Member of Parliament for Nadowli said those attributes were capable of winning for President Mills and the NDC the 2012 elections because “Ghanaians are peace-loving…they are people who are very pious, religious and they believe in their God and they are looking for somebody that is God-fearing that can lead the country, maintain the peace [and] develop and improve the quality of life of the people.”
He said guided by history and considering the development on the ground, “definitely I think we are going to pass the 57% (obtained by former president Kufuor in the 2004 election).”
