  "summary": "National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has dismissed claims that his nationwide thank-you tour was a covert campaign to position himself for the party’s 2028 presidential race. The national chairman insisted the tour was purely part of his responsibility as chairman, arguing that if it had been a campaign, it would have been followed by elections, which have not yet occurred. He dismissed those making such allegations as either uninformed or deliberately mischievous, stating that he continued the tour after receiving reports of growing frustrations among party supporters over appointments and recruitment. Asiedu Nketiah also noted that he fulfilled a promise he made during the 2024 election campaign and that his message focused on urging party members to remain patient over appointments and recruitment.",
