Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor<\/p>\n
NDC General Secretary aspirant, Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, says the 2024 general elections is a liberation battle for Ghana and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
According to him, both the people of Ghana and the NDC cannot afford to live under another term of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) thus the need to rescue Ghana.<\/p>\n
He stated that to be able to achieve \u2018liberation\u2019, the NDC will need an able leader to steer the affairs of the party and come up with game-changing policies that will swing votes in the party\u2019s favour during the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
Dr. Otonkunor has put himself forward as the strong and able leader capable of changing the NDC\u2019s fate for the better.<\/p>\n
Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 PM Express, he said, \u201cThere are a thousand reasons why I want to become general secretary, but the most crucial one is that the NDC cannot afford an additional day of an NPP government or an Akufo-Addo government. Neither can the people of this country afford an additional day of an NPP government.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that requires that we have a strong leadership, a resolve driven leadership, leadership that understands how to win elections, leadership that understands the feeling of the people, the aspirations of the people that is ready to sacrifice, and if you want, do what it takes to win power for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cBecause I have said for example, the 2024 elections is a liberation battle and it will require all hands on deck, but most importantly, it will require an effective and strong leadership. And if you\u2019re talking about strong and effective leadership then it also means that we must have a leader that is very courageous because you are dealing with the NPP that is not ready to let go of power easily.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are not going to sit down for you to take power from them just like that. It\u2019s going to be a very tough tussle. They have said that they\u2019re breaking the eight, they have said for example that they are going to handover to an NPP government, it means that they know exactly what they\u2019re going to do. And history provides ample evidence to how these people operate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it means that we\u2019d have to do extra, we\u2019d have to work hard, we\u2019d have to show resilience and tenacity in our effort to win power and that means the people will need a kind of leader who is courageous, who is fearless, who is bold and brave, who understands the rudiment of elections, who understands party management and above all is a grassroot man because you\u2019ll need to consolidate the party, you\u2019ll need to have an excited party grassroot that are ready to sacrifice, that are ready to commit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the leader must be approachable because they must share your aspirations and difficulties and pain. You must be accessible, you must be their own. And all these attributes that the people need in a leader to lead them for 2024 elections is my scorecard. Because you\u2019ll score me excellent on courage, you\u2019ll score me excellent on fearlessness, you\u2019ll score me excellent n braveness, you\u2019ll score me excellent on boldness, you\u2019ll score me excellent on my understanding of elections \u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
