Veteran broadcaster and Convener for the Alliance for Women in Media Africa, Shamima Muslim, has extended her heartfelt congratulations to the UK Labour Party for their resounding victory that brought Keir Starmer to office as the UK’s new Prime Minister. The Labour Party’s triumph in the July 4th election has been hailed as a significant political shift, one that Shamima believes holds valuable lessons for other nations, including Ghana.
In a reaction posted on her Facebook wall, Shamima lauded the Labour Party’s success, emphasizing that political parties that lead their countries into crises should not be rewarded with renewed mandates. Her post read, “Congratulations to the #UK Labour Party for your landslide win. Indeed, no one should be rewarded who has led a country into crisis.”
Drawing inspiration from the UK election results, Shamima urged Ghanaians to take a moment for sober reflection on the current state of affairs in their country. She called on the electorate to consider the example set by UK voters who decisively chose change for the betterment of their nation.
“We in Ghana are waiting to deliver an equally SOBERING VERDICT,” she wrote, expressing a firm belief in the possibility of change. Shamima’s call to action was clear: Ghanaian citizens must be inspired and convinced that they can vote out the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and restore the country to a path of prosperity and stability.
Her message concluded with a powerful declaration, “#ITISPOSSIBLE to vote out NPP. GH will be restored.”
