Leave President Mahama Out of NDC Executive Elections – Joshua Akamba

Former NDC National Organizer and Vice Chairman hopeful Joshua Akamba has urged party faithful and aspirants to stop dragging President John Dramani Mahama’s name into the upcoming National Executive elections.

Speaking ahead of the internal polls, Akamba emphasized that President Mahama has no preferred candidates in the race and remains committed to working with whoever emerges victorious.

According to him,attempts by some individuals to align themselves with the President or paint fellow party members as his enemies are divisive and counterproductive to the unity of the party.

“President Mahama has no favorite in the executive elections; he supports everyone. People should stop making party members his enemies,” Akamba stated. “Let us be guided and leave President Mahama’s name out of it.”

He cautioned that invoking the President’s name for political leverage during internal contests creates unnecessary tension and undermines the democratic spirit of the NDC. Instead, he encouraged aspirants to campaign on their competence, track record, and vision for strengthening the party’s structures.

Akamba further appealed to delegates and grassroots supporters across the country to remain calm, exercise maturity, and prioritize the collective interest of the NDC above personal ambitions. He urged them to critically assess the capabilities of all contenders and vote for dedicated, hardworking, and well-deserving candidates who can effectively serve the party and help consolidate its gains.

The upcoming NDC National Executive elections are expected to usher in a new crop of leaders tasked with steering the party's administrative and organizational affairs.
