Correspondence from Eastern Region

In a fiery address during a thank-you tour following the 2024 general elections, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), declared a prayer for shame upon political opponents wishing President John Dramani Mahama's failure.

‎

‎Addressing jubilant supporters in Lower Manya in the Eastern Region, a constituency he lauded for its "massive votes" for the NDC in the recently concluded polls, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah expressed the party's gratitude and confidence in the new administration.

‎

‎The outspoken NDC Chairman claimed that President Mahama's second term had already begun to garner unexpected praise from within the opposition. "Even some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are now acknowledging and commending President Mahama and the NDC government for good governance," Aseidu Nketiah revealed to the cheering crowd.

‎However, he quickly pivoted to those he perceived as detractors. "But while some are praising, others are praying he will fail," Asiedu Nketiah asserted, his voice resounding through the gathering. "And I, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah, pray to God to put those people to shame."

‎The remarks highlight the NDC's confident yet combative mood following their victory in the 2024 elections. The thank-you tour, aimed at appreciating the electorate for their support, also served as a platform for the party leadership to reinforce their mandate and send a strong message to political adversaries.

‎

‎His prayer-laden challenge to those wishing for the government's downfall underscores the intense political rivalry that often characterises Ghanaian politics, even after the conclusion of general elections.

The NDC Chairman's statement sets a confrontational tone, suggesting the party is prepared to robustly defend its governance record against internal and external critiques.

‎

‎The tour continues across various constituencies, with NDC leaders reiterating their commitment to delivering on their campaign promises under President Mahama's leadership.
