NDC lauds delegates and supporters for peaceful congress

Sunyani, Sept. 02, GNA
– The National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the weekend lauded delegates and
supporters of the party for the level of tolerance and civility they exhibited
during the regional congresses.

The party was hopeful
that members, supporters and sympathizers would continue to demonstrate the
political maturity to consolidate the gains of Ghana’s democracy.

Mr Johnson Asiedu
Nketiah, the General Secretary of the Party gave the commendation when he
administered the party’s oaths to usher in the newly elected Brong-Ahafo
Regional Executives in Sunyani on Saturday.

He said the party had
learnt a lot of lessons from the 2016 election defeat, and advised the
supporters and members to unite and help identify and address the peculiar
problems that led to the defeat.

Mr Nketiah told the
teeming supporters that each and every member of the party had a specific role
to play in the NDC to regain power in Elections 2020.

He said after the
regional congresses there was the need for the supporters and delegates to bury
their differences, forged ahead in unity and contribute positively towards
enhancing the party’s numerical strength to be able to win the 2020 general
election.

Mr Nketiah advised the
newly elected executives to team up with especially the losing candidates and
intensify campaign to enhance the fortunes of the party in 2020.

He urged the party
faithful and supporters who felt they were offended in one way or the other
during the congress to forgive each other and allow peace to prevail.

Mr Kwadwo
Nyamekye-Marfo, the newly elected Brong-Ahafo Regional Chairman, thanked the
delegates for the confidence reposed in them and assured that the party in the
region would work hard to win the general election with more parliamentary
seats.

He said factionalism,
internal wrangling and divisions would not augur well for the growth and
development of the NDC and pleaded with all disgruntled members and supporters
to bury their difference and allowed the interest of the party to override
their individual interests.
