National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has highlighted the pivotal role of President John Dramani Mahama’s performance in shaping the party’s future electoral prospects.
Speaking at Mahama’s inauguration ceremony in Accra on Tuesday, January 7, Mr Nketia emphasized that the President’s success would be crucial for the NDC’s chances in the 2028 elections.
“Everything that will happen in 2028 for the NDC will depend largely on the performance of President John Dramani Mahama. If he succeeds, it presents new opportunities. If he doesn’t, we may face a situation where even being offered the flagbearer position on a silver platter could become unattractive,” he cautioned.
He called on party members to rally behind Mahama’s administration and prioritize its success, urging collective effort to strengthen the party’s foundation for future victories.
“Our focus must be on ensuring President Mahama’s success so that anyone who succeeds him as our candidate will have a solid foundation to secure victory,” he stated.
Mr Nketia also addressed party members with political aspirations, advising them to align their ambitions with the current administration’s success.
“I urge everyone within the party who harbors future political ambitions to ensure their actions today do not compromise or undermine President Mahama’s success. Our immediate priority must be to see President Mahama excel so that his achievements can pave the way for future leaders,” he added.
