NDC to launch campaign for December Elections early next month

National Democratic Congress

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) will officially commence its campaign early next month, in advance of the December 7 elections.

Last Saturday, the NDC flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama, declared that “we will launch the campaign in July after we announce the campaign team this week.”

Former President Mahama was addressing the Volta Regional Fundraising Dinner in Accra.

“I must assure you that after we launch the campaign, there will be no turning back until December 7, when we go to the polls to vote massively for the NDC in both Presidential and Parliamentary elections,” he said.

“We are accelerating already. You can only drive in this country when you are licensed; the people of Ghana must license you. This is not the time to be asking for the steering wheel,” Mr. Mahama figuratively alluded.

The NDC flagbearer went on to say that the country was currently in a predicament and that significant consideration should be given to how to alter its fortunes by 2025 in order to improve the well-being of the majority of its citizens.

He stated that the Volta Region had played a crucial role in what he referred to as the’rescue crusade’ for the 2024 election and asked everyone to double their efforts to achieve that goal for the NDC party.

“Although we had a slight drop in terms of percentage in the last elections, I am of the strong belief that we’ll improve over it to at least 90 percent,” he said.

Former President Mahama praised the executives and party members for their initiative, saying their efforts would be recognized on December 7.

Kwamigah Tanko Atokple, an industrialist and philanthropist who hosted the event, emphasized the importance of all Voltarians putting their hands to the plough and working to ensure the party’s success.

He stated that no individual or group could attain that goal without full “commitment from all of us.” He consequently exhorted the NDC people to pay their “widow’s mite towards a good cause.”
