This stance was revealed during an interview with Adom News correspondent Odehyeba Owusu Job at Ola Senior High School, where the constituency elections were taking place.\n\nThe delegates emphasized that their choice of leaders will be guided by the candidates' track records and abilities to strengthen the party's grassroots structures and further its political goals, rather than financial incentives. Some delegates expressed their discontent over the late start of the election process, attributing it to delays from the elections committee and the Electoral Commission. They complained that voting only began around 11:00 a.m., causing frustration among participants who had gathered to exercise their right to vote.\n\nThe delegates urged for improved planning and better coordination by the officials responsible for organizing the elections to avoid similar issues in future voting processes. The Ho Central Constituency executive elections are part of the NDC's internal procedure to select leaders who will lead the party's activities at the constituency level. The results of these elections are anticipated to influence the party's local leadership and organizational efforts in the region.",
