Head of Political Studies Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah has predicted the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) would be kicked out of government if elections are held today.
The political scientist stated on Accra-based Okay fm that the current economic condition in the country is what has led him into this conclusion.
��the current economic conditions in the country points to this fact which is the NDC would lose if elections were held today�� he said.
Prof. Amoako-Baah claimed he was not seeing any relief coming to Ghanaians anytime soon adding the suffering of Ghanaians would move from bad to worse in the coming days.
�With the IMF coming on board, Ghanaians ought to prepare for more hardships because their conditionalities would tighten things further�,� he added.
Ghana�s team is currently in the USA negotiating with the Bretton Woods institution for a possible bailout.
The delegation which is led by Finance Minister, Seth Terkper consists of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, and Officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Ghana.
Commenting on the on-going workers strike, Dr. Amoako-Baah urged the government to call on Ghana�s negotiating team at the IMF to factor in the pension monies government owes workers.
He said that is also part of Ghana�s public debt because �there is no way government can raise the pensions money which he has spent.�
