Aseidu Nketia urges NDC aspirants to unite after constituency elections

Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), called upon party aspirants participating in constituency executive elections to accept the outcomes, work collaboratively, and uphold the principles of fairness, impartiality, and unity. These elections, taking place across all 276 constituencies nationwide, are internal party affairs demanding a united front among members.

Speaking at the Ketu North Constituency Delegates Conference in the Volta Region, Mr. Nketia stated that he deliberately avoided attending the constituency elections to prevent any influence on delegates' choices or the appearance of favoritism towards candidates. As the National Chairman, his neutrality is crucial for reconciling party members and promoting unity, irrespective of the election results.

Mr. Nketia emphasized that, as friends and family members within the NDC, everyone should be considered a friend, not an enemy, even if not all aspirants secure their desired positions. He warned that supporting specific candidates might compromise his ability to unite the party, regardless of whether those candidates win or lose.

In response to those who may not have won, Mr. Nketia reassured them that only one individual can hold a particular position at a time, encouraging them to remain dedicated to the party. Furthermore, he urged delegates to permit the emergence of the most suitable candidates and appealed for everyone to accept the election results with a positive mindset.

Mr. Nketia highlighted that the success of the elections should be evaluated not only by the winners but also by how winners and losers collaborate afterward. His belief is that the true measure of success lies in the party's unity and cohesion post-election, rather than the mere outcome of the contest.

With confidence in the NDC's potential to emerge even stronger from this process, Mr. Nketia expressed his belief that the party would ultimately benefit from maintaining a united front.
