The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has called for patience and unwavering loyalty from party members yet to receive government appointments.
His appeal came during a spirited three-day “Thank You” Tour of the Eastern Region, where he addressed party executives and supporters at the Akuapem North Constituency in the Abutakyi electoral area.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia explained that the number of qualified NDC members far exceeds the government positions available, making it impossible to appoint everyone at once. He reassured members that President John Mahama’s four-year mandate, coupled with the potential for future cabinet reshuffles, would create additional opportunities for dedicated party faithful to serve in government.
“It is better to be a floor member in government than to be the same in opposition,” he told the crowd, urging members to remain steadfast and supportive.
The NDC Chairman praised the hard work and commitment of branch and constituency executives, ward coordinators, cadres, Assembly members, and other party groups for their role in the party’s 2024 electoral victory. He endorsed the idea of current executives seeking another term, citing their sacrifice and dedication.
Looking ahead, Mr. Asiedu Nketia assured members that more job openings would soon be available, including positions in the police service and other security agencies. He encouraged party members to seize these opportunities when recruitment exercises begin.
As part of his tour, Mr. Asiedu Nketia is scheduled to visit Akuapem North, Akuapem South, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Upper West Akim, and Lower West Akyem constituencies on the second day.
The final day will see him engaging with party members in Asene-Manso-Akroso, Achiase, Swedro, Akyem Oda, Kade, and Akwatia—bringing his total to 16 constituencies during this phase of the regional tour.
