Hassan Ayariga, the founder of the All People’s Congress (APC) party and a former presidential candidate, predicts that voter turnout in the 2024 election will be much lower than in previous years due to the two major political parties’ constant deception and poor performance, which has left many Ghanaians disappointed.
Mr Hassan Ayariga, speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Wednesday, November 29, regarding the need for a common manifesto to lead national progress, stated that Ghana has reached a point when all parties must agree on a single common manifesto for the country.
