National Democratic Congress (NDC) operative James Agbey has expressed concern over the party's treatment of grassroots supporters. In a statement on October 16, Agbey warned that the party risks losing support unless government appointees address their grievances. He accused appointees of neglecting activists and cadres who helped the NDC secure victory in the 2024 elections.
Agbey claimed that many party members were facing unemployment and financial difficulties, while some appointees were giving preferential treatment to relatives and close associates over supporters. He stated that the party's priorities had shifted post-elections, with appointees now focusing on their own families and allies. Agbey emphasized that the activists are seeking opportunities to support themselves, not just handouts or promises.
He urged appointees to engage with the party's base and take concrete steps to address their concerns. He warned that unresolved issues could erode loyalty and result in future elections. Agbey cautioned that the party leadership needs to act swiftly to prevent growing dissatisfaction from harming their electoral prospects.
