Citi News reported that the Abetifi MP said the NPP had all hands on deck to win the polls.

Bryan Acheampong's past controversy for similar comments

Acheampong has made similar comments in the past, which were criticised as reckless.

In April 2023, the minister at a health walk said his party would never hand over power to the NDC.

The NDC said it wanted the former national security minister arrested over the comments.

Retired soldier and founding member of the NPP Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe said the comments were a threat to the 1992 Constitution.

Bryan Acheampong wants SDA members to vote early

YEN.com.gh reported that Acheampong called on the Electoral Commission to permit the Seventh-Day Adventists to vote on December 2, 2024.

The Electoral Commission has designated December 2, 2024, as a special voting day for security agencies, media personnel, and other stakeholders.

According to Acheampong, allowing the SDA to vote on December 2 will help avoid disenfranchising them on Saturday, December 7.
