The narrative of NPP Assin North defeat:The dawn of a new paradigm-Prosper Kwaku Selassy Agbitor writes

In the conduct of a survey, a sample is used to represent the large majority.

To wit, the attributes, values and any indication demonstrated by the small sample quantifies the reality of the whole.

This means that the resentment shown by a group of political entities shows the general way of thinking and overall expectations of a political location within a country.

The narratives from the just-ended Assin North by-election represent the general feeling of the citizens across the nation, of Ghana.

A morsel of bread can quench the hunger drive of every human race, the reason politicians would want to continue exploiting those who queue in the mess of rain or, hot sunlight or, windy or humid conditions only to get a "begging braggart" or a true servant" a representing attorney into the law-making house.

The purpose is simple; to have someone stand in the gap to mediate and rally development to the area.

However, the narrative for most Ghanaian representatives among other things, is to enrich themselves at the expense of their constituents.

But, there is a fast-growing "new dawn narrative" which must wake every politician up from their slumber.

The days of GHS 100.00 and GHS 200.00 for vote at the verge of an election, are fast grinding to a halt.

A video was spotted during the Assin North election where a woman dressed in white bemoaned the absurdity of treatment meted to them by the ruling Akufo Addo-Bawumia government where the government has denied them their due from the sale of cocoa beans.

Rather than paying their money, the government has decided to bribe electorates with GHS 200.00 while forcing them to swear to vote for them.

The NDC on the other hand, was reported to have given GHS 100.00 with an appeal to conscience for vote pledging to do more when voted for in the upcoming 2024 general elections.

Despite the bribe, the electorates saw reasons to vote for the opposition NDC candidate(James Gakye Quayson) against the NPP candidate(Charles Opoku who could not vote for himself because he did not have a voting right in Assin North.

So why did he contest in Assin North? This, I believe must be a lesson to all politicians. NDC, in particular, should not be complacent; thinking the NPP has been rejected by the people.

They also stand a very high chance of being rejected if they should fail to develop the area and provide the people with better livelihoods in 2025.

No political party is exempted from rejection by the electorates, quite the same way, no political party is cast in stone in recent times. The narratives are changing very fast.
