Ministers of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have received advice from Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), advising them to begin gathering their handing-over notes in anticipation of their impending resignation.
The people no longer trust the current administration, according to the NDC National Chairman during a press conference at the party’s headquarters on January 8, 2024.
He made it clear that efforts to undermine the goals of defenseless civilians fighting for their rights would ultimately be ineffective.
He continued by citing the most recent District Assembly elections as evidence of the party’s waning support.
He gave the constituencies of Walewale in the North East, Okere in the Eastern region, Essikadu-Ketan in the Western region, Abura Asebu Kwamankese (AAK) in the Central region, and Hohoe, where the NDC performed admirably, as examples. These constituencies currently have NPP MPs in office.
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah declared, “Already, thousands of persons affiliated to the NPP have lost the District Level Elections. Yes, NPP people have miserably lost the Assembly and Unit Committee elections to members, supporters, and affiliates of the NDC.”
He added, “Ashanti and Eastern regions were also very impressive for the NDC compared to 2019 performance. Presently, even though the Electoral Commission unexpectedly postponed voting in some electoral areas in these two stronghold regions of the ruling NPP, NDC members and affiliates secured 34.13% and 45.52% of the electoral areas in Ashanti and Eastern regions respectively.”
Relatedly, in the general elections of 2024, voters are being urged by the Ashanti Region leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to reject NPP parliamentary candidates.
Notwithstanding their power in the area, the NDC argues that NPP MPs do not deserve to continue representing the Ashanti Region in Parliament because they have not succeeded in bringing about the necessary development in the area.
