'I will turn Ashanti into an NDC zone' - Regional Chairman
Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Andrews Augustus Nana Akwasi, has vowed to turn the opposition NPP's stronghold into an NDC zone.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Andrews Augustus Nana Akwasi, has pledged to transform the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) stronghold into an NDC zone. A two-time regional chairman, Nana Akwasi declared his unwavering determination to ensure the ruling party's dominance in the region.
"When I secured the regional election victory in 2018, the NDC held just three seats in the area following their significant loss in 2016. I committed myself to expanding their representation at all costs, and I vowed not to rest until that goal was accomplished," he stated to TV3's William Evans-Nkum. In 2020, under his guidance, the New Edubiase seat returned to the NDC, a victory he attributed to his leadership.
In 2024, the NDC expanded its presence by winning three additional seats, bringing the total to seven. Nana Akwasi anticipates further gains if delegates re-elect him as regional chairman, stating, "My party rewards loyalty; some might be surprised by my bid for re-election, but I assure them it's a matter of democracy, which I embrace wholeheartedly.
I have been an active participant, leaving my mark everywhere, and I trust the delegates will recognize my efforts and vote overwhelmingly for me to bolster the NDC's strength in this pivotal region."
