The Council of Elders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a rallying call to its supporters, urging them not to be complacent as the December 7 elections approach.
In a statement, the Council highlighted the overwhelming enthusiasm, personal initiatives, volunteerism, and spirit of sacrifice that have characterisd the NDC’s 2024 campaign.
“The NDC party’s 2024 campaign has been one like never before. The enthusiasm, personal initiatives, volunteerism, and sacrifice spirit have been overwhelming. The Council salutes the rank and file for championing the party’s cause and propagating the policies outlined in our unbeatable Manifesto.
“What remains now is a total mobilisation to ensure a high voter turnout. Let us not be complacent and think it is a done deal,” the statement read.
The Council emphasised the importance of intensifying voter education in the remaining days before voting day, particularly on how to thumbprint correctly on the ballot paper.
It urged supporters to adhere to the strategies outlined by the Election Directorate to protect the vote and ensure the speedy collation of results.
“We urge our members and supporters to remember that the price of success is eternal vigilance. We must all be foot soldiers on December 7. We must all be out on the field, supporting and encouraging one another. Those who plan mischief should encounter our presence and resolve,” the Council added.
The NDC Council of Elders described the 2024 election as a battle for democracy and the rescue of public institutions from the brink.
It called on Ghanaians to reject the past eight years of impunity, corruption, greed, arrogance, and nepotism, and to vote for a president who will restore honesty and service in the body politic.
“No force can stand against the people’s might when they decide enough is enough. We urge Ghanaians to vote for a President who will restore honesty and service in our body politic,” it added.
