The National Tenants Union of Ghana (NATUG) has thrown its weight behind the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) housing policies, citing alignment with its own goals.
After reviewing proposals from various political parties, NATUG praised the NDC’s plans to transform the Rent Control Department into an independent Rent Authority, introduce low-interest rent advance schemes, and promote affordable housing options.
NATUG also criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) housing promises, labelling them “recycled, unfulfilled, and broken.”
This endorsement comes as John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, has prioritised low-cost housing for Ghanaians.
“After comparing the housing policies of both parties, the National Tenants’ Union of Ghana have decided to endorse the housing proposals of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).”
The group called on the NDC to fully implement these policies if elected, to alleviate the housing challenges facing many Ghanaians, cautioning to hold Mahama accountable in 2028 if he wins the elections.
