Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr. Managing Editor of Insight Newspaper believes any political party in Ghana is eligible to win the 2016 election based on performance and the level of trust Ghanaians have reposed in it. He said extreme partisan politicking amid personal attacks, insults and vilification is not going to be the magic potion for winning the 2016 general elections. He said Ghanaians want a visionary leadership with practicable policy and programmes which will alleviate them from hash conditions. �The people of this country want to see workable, viable programmes and projects which will make potable water available to all of our people, the people want to see the difference between the political parties�. �2016 election will be won by candidates and political parties who demonstrate that they have practical solutions to the problems� to improving the living standard of the Ghanaian people�, he noted. In an interview on Alhaji and Alhaji Saturday, Mr. Pratt reiterated that taking historical antecedents into account, all the political parties are becoming the same. He described as �worrying� the contemporary resolve within the rank and file of the NDC to toe the negative path of the NPP. �The new mantra which is being sung from the top echelons of the NDC does the party no good�this business of government has no business managing anything and that everything should be surrendered to the private sector is an attempt by some people in the NDC especially at the top echelon to sound like NPP�. �They think that they can steal in the constituency of the NPP and win power. It is not possible! There is no way an NDC government can win power by looking and sounding like the NPP. And the earlier the NDC try to care for itself based on its own unique commitment and ideologies, the better�, he stated. The Managing Editor added that the 2016 election is going to be a tough competition, noting that all the political parties must be wide awake about the kind of signals they put out.
