Highlife artiste Lucky Mensah says the current hardship in Ghana is unbearable and has therefore decided to rally behind NPP flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo ahead of the 2016 general elections.

The popular highlife musician has confirmed to TV3 that he has cut ties with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and released a campaign song which asks Ghanaians to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo.

“I have realised things aren’t going well that’s why I have made up my mind on pledging my support for Nana Addo.

“Comparing the tenure of the NPP to the current government, it is obvious things were far better for Ghanaians as compared to what we see now,” he told TV3 in the local language – Akan.

In 2008, Lucky Mensah sang the famous ‘Come Back To NDC’ track for the NDC, and it became one of the party’s official campaign songs.

Few years later, he released that controversial ‘Nkratuo’ song, a satiric song which sends a message through one ‘Tawiah’ to tell his big brother ‘Atta’ that things are not going well and that the situation has gone very bad. This was to express his displeasure over how the country was being managed by the NDC.

Though he said he campaigned for President John Mahama in the 2012 election, he felt disappointed and now wants to support NPP’s Akufo-Addo
