STATEMENT BY FORMER NDC MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FROM VOLTA REGION ON THE UP-COMING PARTY CONGRESS AND REGIONAL EXECUTIVE ELECTIONS.
We wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation, the rejuvenation of interest and support for our great Party, the NDC in Ghana and particularly in the Volta Region, which is the “World Bank” of the Party.
We are enthused and happy about the large numbers of contestants for the various regional Party leadership positions even in opposition and look forward to the conclusion of the contest on a very happy, civil and friendly note.
We also wish to use this opportunity to remind delegates that the 2020 elections are very critical in the forward march of the party, particularly as we seek to recapture power and deliver Ghanaians from the suffering we are currently experiencing at the hands of the NPP administration.
In this direction, we urge delegates to exercise their votes wisely after critically assessing all contestants on their knowledge of the Party’s social democratic principles and core values of probity, accountability and transparency as well as on their own vision, mission, strategies and achievable action plans for the Party in the Region.
Delegates should not be influenced by factional pressures, self-interest, money or any other form of patronage to vote for particular contestants but must vote for competent executives able to discharge their responsibilities when elected.
We advise delegates to vote for executives who are hardworking, strong-willed, experienced and possess the ability to unify and lead the regional party into a massive and successful 2020 elections in tandem with other regions in the Country.
We look forward to very successful regional congresses across the Country and also in the Volta Region as we re-organise to strengthen our position as the “World Bank” of the Party.
NDC, Emefa Mia, Mia, Mia!

NDC, We are winning 2020!
