The former Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko has said that one of his vision for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is for the party to rule for 60 years.
He noted that its a necessity for the ruling New Patriotic Party to be made tough and strong so that it will be hard for any party to challenge it. Supporting his point he cited Mexico and Japan as countries where one party has ruled for long.
The Presidential candidate hopeful made this comment while addressing some NPP members at the Eastern Regional Delegates Conference in Kibi.
”So after breaking the 8, then we hand over power to NDC? absolutely not. My intention for this party is to become dominant political force on the political space”, he said this while encouraging party members not to focus on just breaking the 8.
”So that there would be no challenger to the NPP in any election that we go. So that every election, election after election we will continue to rule. The Japanese Liberal Party has been in power for 54 years, the PRI of Mexico has ruled for 71 years so NPP ours must be 60 years”, he said.
His examples shows that it won’t be news if the NPP rule for 60 years.
