Citing economic hardships and high unemployment rate, Mr. Sosu stressed that the NPP continuously take Ghanaians for granted.
“There’s no doubt that in 2024, NDC is winning the general elections and we are not going to be having a hung parliament.

“We heard the last time in one of their conferences that, ‘I am going to hand over to an NPP government;’ For where? When there’s soo much unemployment in the country…there’s soo much hardship in the country…conditions of living are so bad.

The NPP as a political party takes Ghanaians for granted but enough is enough. The victory of the NDC is coming back again and no one can stop it,” Francis-Xavier Sosu emphasised.
President Akufo-Addo during the NPP delegates conference in December 2021 expressed his desire to handover over power to a president from the NPP.
He however warned that internal party conduct may either contribute to making it a possibility or derailing the goal.
"Every step taken now leading to 2024 is going to be decisive either to give us victory or not," he told party delegates in Kumasi on Sunday, December 19, 2021.
