“The 2024 elections will be won using the Common Sense Approach (CSA). I know you guys talk a lot. Keep talking,” he stressed.
Drawing on military strategy, Yayra Koku quoted a portion of Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’ to underscore the National Democratic Congress’s preparedness and strategic advantage in going into the 2024 general elections.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.”

NDC’s Superior Strategies to Outsmart NPP
Mr Koku strongly asserted that the National Democratic Congress has a comprehensive understanding of the ruling New Patriotic Party’s strategies, positioning them advantageously for the upcoming electoral contest.
With the 2024 elections merely three months away, the National Democratic Congress Director of IT and Elections, Yayra Koku projected that the Ghanaian populace is ready for change, aiming to “reset Ghana from thievery and nepotism.”
He suggested that the electorates are disillusioned with the current administration’s governance, specifically criticizing the mismanagement of the country’s economy by the ruling New Patriotic Party administration, led by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
He accused the ruling party led by President Akufo-Addo of its grand agenda of acquiring the assets of the state, referencing the infamous “Agyapadeɛ document”, a document, he alleged reflects the NPP’s policies and practices that have been detrimental to the country.
However, Mr Koku argued that the NDC’s leadership remains steadfast in its belief that the party’s campaign strategies and approaches will resonate with voters, positioning the party to reclaim power from the NPP.
According to him, the National Democratic Congress’s campaign strategy appears focused on presenting itself as the antidote to what it frames as the NPP’s failures, promising a government that prioritizes transparency and equity.
Mr Koku’s pointed remarks are part of a broader narrative within the NDC, which has been rallying support by highlighting issues of corruption and nepotism under the NPP administration
