They have enough to spend yet use the meagre to get you to vote for them - Asiedu Nketiah

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged party members in Afrancho-Akomadan, Offinso North Constituency, in the Ashanti Region, to prioritise candidates who focus on policies rather than financial incentives.

According to a report by citifmonline.com, he made the remarks during the NDC's Retail Campaign on Monday, November 4, 2024.

He emphasised that accepting money in exchange for votes hinders the development and progress of a community.

Asiedu Nketiah called on voters to support candidates dedicated to sustainable growth.

He also expressed concerns over the practice of politicians offering money to secure votes, stating that such actions hinder developmental projects.

“We will equally share monies and goodies if that is what you want instead of using that for developmental projects. How will there be development? They have enough to spend on and yet, use the meagre to get you to vote for them," he stated.

He asserted that those who fail to recognise the development initiatives the NDC has implemented in the Ashanti Region are overlooking significant achievements.

“Anyone who cannot see the development projects the NDC has brought to the Ashanti region must be overlooking them. Everyone benefits from our projects. If the other party shares monies based on status without any development in our communities, and yet you vote for them, we’ll also do the same," he noted.
