  "account": "Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Member of Parliament for Ellembelle, has announced that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) aims to retain all 15 parliamentary seats it won in the Western Region during the 2024 general elections and potentially secure two additional seats in future elections. The party's primary focus is to consolidate its current gains while enhancing its organisational framework to bolster electoral performance in the region. Addressing journalists at the NDC Western Regional executive elections, Mr Buah stated that the party intends to retain the seats it currently holds and expand its representation. The MP described the election as highly competitive yet peaceful, expressing satisfaction with the process and praising the organizers and security personnel for their contributions. He specifically acknowledged the regional election director, as well as the Ghana Police Service and the Electoral Commission, for their support in organizing the event. Mr Buah emphasized that the NDC must not let down its supporters, who have placed their trust in the governing party. He highlighted the need for a robust political organization, built on solid democratic foundations and committed leadership at every level. The MP also referred to his previous Facebook message, in which he advised delegates to consider candidates' competence and dedication before casting their votes. Buah clarified that party leadership involves sacrifice and commitment rather than personal financial gain. He stressed that serving the party demands dedication and a willingness to make sacrifices for the collective good of the NDC. The ultimate goal, according to Buah, is to ensure that the NDC remains a force capable of winning the hearts and minds of Ghanaians. Against the backdrop of the party's strong showing in the parliamentary elections, with 15 out of 17 seats in the Western Region, Mr Buah urged party members and supporters to set aside their differences post-elections and rally behind the newly elected executives to advance the party's wider goals.",
