Ghanaians did not vote us out: apathy did-NPP Communicator

Mr. Issah Fuseini, the Western Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) says voter apathy is the bane of the party in the just ended general elections.  
 
He said, “Ghanaians did not decide to vote the NPP out but our defeat is due to complacency and voter apathy….one member thinks another is voting, hence our lost”. 
 
The NPP Communication Director continued that the NDC party must even be shocked at the level of gains from the elections “because they did not anticipate the win”. 
 
Mr. Fuseini told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that despite the defeat, one winner must always emerge in a competition and praised the NDC for the feat saying: “we are going to revise our strategies and come again in the next four years.” 
 
He said “we had the policies and the messages…we have developed the country, but God chose the leader” 
 
The NPP party had seen massive loss from the electorate within the Western Region in both the parliamentary and Presidential elections. 
 
The party maintained only the incumbent MP for Takoradi constituency- Mr. Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah and saw a new face winning at the Effia constituency-Mr. Isaac Boamah-Nyarko.  
 
The rest of the constituencies within the 17 districts of the Western Region had been given to the NDC by the electorates.  
 
Mr. Fuseini lauded the move by the Party’s Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for coming out early to accept the party’s fall in good faith. 
 
He noted: “Our in-house collation centre showed that the figures were not in our favour, tensions were also very high and the expectation of the people of Ghana was a peaceful election and that was what Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia did. 
 
The quest for the throne of Ghana to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is not greater than the peace of the country”.
