  "account": "National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has called on party aspirants to accept the results of constituency executive elections and unite. Speaking at a Ketu North Constituency Delegates Conference in the Volta Region on Sunday, October 25, Nketiah emphasized that unity was paramount after the elections, rather than individual successes. He stressed that the importance lies not in who emerges victorious, but in how the party comes together post-election. Nketiah disclosed that he had deliberately avoided participating in constituency elections to remain neutral and ensure his role in reconciling members post-polls, irrespective of the outcomes. He urged aspirants who did not secure positions not to view their defeat as a rejection by the party, clarifying that each individual position could only be held by one person at a time. Nketiah encouraged delegates to support the most suitable candidates and urged aspirants to accept the results with good faith. He expressed optimism that the elections would bolster the NDC if members remained committed and collaborated following the results.",
