The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has commended branch executives and grassroots members for their role in securing the party’s victory in the 2024 general elections.
He made the remarks during a two-day “Thank You Tour” of the Upper East Region, part of a nationwide engagement aimed at expressing appreciation to voters and accounting for the government’s stewardship following the election.
Addressing party members, Mr. Asiedu Nketia said the success of the campaign was largely due to the efforts of grassroots operatives who worked across communities to canvass support.
“During the campaign, we worked together. I saw how many of you, particularly the branch executives, moved from village to village, town to town, house to house, to canvass votes,” he said.
He added that many contributors to the victory often go unrecognized.
“We cannot identify you individually, but I know there were people whose job was to hoist the flags and face the odds. We want to thank them very much. Others were in the offices planning the entire election strategy. They organised rallies and went everywhere to make our campaign very impressive. We are grateful to them,” he said.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia also praised the party’s candidates, describing their contributions as key to reducing internal divisions during the campaign period.
“You are very good candidates because you cannot win elections without good candidates. In earlier campaigns, there were divisions, but this time they were largely reduced,” he said.
He urged members to maintain unity going forward.
“I want to urge you to remain united. Ignore your differences and focus on building the party. Even if you have not won previously, history will remember your efforts and contributions,” he added.
The first day of the tour took Mr. Asiedu Nketia to Talensi, Nabdam, Bongo, and Bolgatanga East constituencies. He was accompanied by national executives, Members of Parliament, District Chief Executives, the Upper East Regional Minister, and regional and constituency executives.
