  "summary": "Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, a former Odododiodioo Member of Parliament and National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman aspirant, has called for the establishment of a dedicated welfare system to support former party officials, cadres, and other members after leaving public office. Vanderpuye highlighted the absence of an institutionalised welfare and exit structure, which leaves some former MPs, District Chief Executives (DCEs), and other party stalwarts struggling after their terms in office. He emphasized that the NDC, which was founded on the principle of a \"One Family,\" must now restore the sense of solidarity that characterized its early years, ensuring that its members are cared for even after their political careers conclude.",
