National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has urged Ghanaians to exercise their right to vote, dismissing the notion of abstaining from elections due to unfulfilled promises by previous leaders, especially the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Addressing residents at Akwasease in the Ahafo Ano North Constituency in the Ashanti region, Nketiah emphasised that, choosing not to participate only weakens democracy and the chance for positive change, urging the residents to look forward with hope and hold leaders accountable through the December polls.
“It beats my understanding when I hear people say they won’t vote just because a government did not fulfil its promises. It may be true that they couldn’t fulfill their promises but that should not limit you from voting.
“If you want to hold them accountable, not voting isn’t the answer. They know you helped put them in power, so they understand that you could vote against them next time.
“But if you choose not to vote, it gives them an advantage. It is the time for us to unite as one people and vote them out. They have been bad at governance,” he stated.
