 The 2024 election is just drawing closer, the momentum is getting heated up and the boys are being separated from the men. Desperation is setting in, flaring up of anger is obviously displaying and insults are the order of the day. Whiles the incumbent party's Presidential Candidate is on the grounds selling his vision and mission with bold solutions for the future of Ghana to Ghanaians, the main opposition party's Presidential Candidate seems to be showing his emptiness, disastrous moves, cluelessness and anger. Is the main opposition party having any meaningful alternatives for Ghanaians? 

It is obviously clear that the main opposition party is unprepared for power, delivering empty messages to Ghanaians. It is ridiculous and embarrassing how the proponents of the 'Almighty' 24 Hour Economy are struggling to explain it to Ghanaians. It shows how empty the main opposition party is. If you just want to hear weird things, ask NDC member what 24 Hour Economy is and 'you will vomit by force'. From the flag bearer to the last person in the party do not know what the policy is about. It is an empty rhetoric just like the slogan Ede Bii Keke. 

When the main opposition party is described as disastrous, I know you understand. The flag bearer is leading the party with many contradictions and endless embarrassing statements. At one point, he says he cannot promise building a stadium and at another point, he is promising same. If you want to Know an opposition party that is disastrous, just monitor their Presidential Candidate's addresses.  If a presidential candidate looks in the face of Trade Union Congress (TUC) and tells them that he cannot promise them increment in salaries in his next government, just know that, that alternative is disastrous. It is even more disastrous of a Presidential Candidate to look in the faces of Ghanaians and tells them that if and when he wins the election, he will need a honeymoon to think about what to do for the country. Disaster upon disaster of a party and a Presidential Candidate.

The alternative is also clueless. It is clueless in that, a Presidential Candidate comfortably looks in the faces of Ghanaians and tells them that his difficult to explain 24 Hour Economy will offer 24 Hour Night Club Services. Where will this country head to under this clueless and nothing to offer opposition? Ghanaians are discerning, my dear main opposition party. Anyway, their flag bearer dreamed and woke up and started preaching 24 Hour Economy and so we cannot blame the whole party for this, after all, the Presidential Candidate bears the cost of his own nightmare. 

It is also clear that lack of ideas leads to nothing but frustration. If you don't have a sellable message, frustration sets in in your campaign and anger is bound to flare up and Ghanaians will definitely be the receiving end of needless insults and attacks. No wonder of late, the Presidential Candidate of the main opposition party is attacking our revered chiefs, pastors, Imams, Civil Society Organizations, among others out of nothing but pure frustration and desperation. They thought that the mere shouting of '24 Hour Economy' and 'Ghana is hard' without any tangible policy alternatives was enough for Ghanaians to give them power. Tweaaa! I think Ghanaians are yet to witness more frustration and public display of anger by the main opposition party because the going is getting tougher for them. 

 *Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia* is focused on his campaign, giving hope to Ghanaians and making a good case for himself and the NPP but his main contender is on attacking spree of Ghanaians. The possibilities tour  of Dr. Bawumia comes with compelling messages for Ghanaians and Ghana but that of his opponent, as you can see for yourselves, remains empty, disastrous, clueless and frustrated.  

Thank you
