The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reaffirmed its unwavering dedication to utilizing its victory in the December 7 general elections as a powerful tool to advance Ghana’s progress and prosperity. With a renewed mandate from the Ghanaian people, the party has emphasized its commitment to responsible leadership that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of citizens.
At a press briefing held at the party’s headquarters on Sunday, December 8, NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey expressed gratitude to the electorate for their overwhelming support. He highlighted that the NDC’s triumph in the polls was not only a testament to the people’s trust in the party but also a clear call for change, progress, and inclusivity in governance. According to him, the party remains focused on fulfilling its promises to transform Ghana into a nation of shared opportunities and sustainable development.
Fifi Kwetey noted that the NDC’s success was both decisive and undeniable, reflecting a significant majority that grants the party the leverage to implement its agenda for the benefit of all Ghanaians. He assured the public that this majority would be wielded responsibly, ensuring that the NDC’s policies and programs address the core challenges facing the nation, including youth unemployment, infrastructure deficits, and economic instability.
“We have secured a very significant majority and a majority that we aim to use responsibly and for the progress of the people of Ghana,” Kwetey remarked. “The process as far as the presidential result is also concerned, we will urge the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, and her team to make sure the declaration is not unduly delayed because we know for a fact that nothing can be done about it because it is already in the bag.”
The General Secretary further called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure transparency and timeliness in declaring the final election results. He urged EC Chairperson Jean Mensa to avoid unnecessary delays, stating that the outcome of the elections was clear and should be officially announced without hesitation. Kwetey stressed that the NDC’s confidence in the process stems from its performance at the polls, where the party demonstrated strong support across the country.
The press briefing served as an opportunity for the NDC to reiterate its readiness to lead with integrity and inclusivity. Kwetey emphasized that the party’s primary goal is to build a Ghana where every citizen, regardless of background, can thrive. He noted that the NDC’s campaign promises were rooted in realistic and practical solutions to the nation’s pressing issues. From revitalizing the agricultural sector to promoting industrialization and strengthening education, the party is determined to deliver results that will positively impact the lives of Ghanaians.
In addition to addressing the election results, Kwetey commended the party’s supporters, volunteers, and candidates for their dedication and hard work throughout the campaign period. He described their efforts as instrumental in securing the NDC’s victory and pledged that their sacrifices would not be in vain. “This victory is for the people,” he stated, “and we are committed to honoring their trust by working tirelessly to improve their lives and uplift the nation.”
The NDC leadership also used the platform to outline its immediate priorities once officially declared the winner of the elections. These priorities include fostering unity among Ghanaians, enhancing transparency in governance, and accelerating economic recovery efforts. Kwetey assured the public that the party is prepared to collaborate with all stakeholders, including opposition parties, to achieve these goals.
As the nation awaits the final declaration of results by the Electoral Commission, the NDC has called on its supporters to remain calm and patient. The party urged all citizens to trust in the democratic process and maintain peace during this crucial period. Kwetey expressed confidence that the Electoral Commission would uphold its mandate of fairness and accuracy in declaring the outcome of the elections.
The NDC’s victory marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s democratic journey. It underscores the people’s desire for transformative leadership that places their needs at the center of governance. Kwetey reaffirmed that the party’s leadership is fully aware of the weight of this responsibility and is committed to delivering on its promises.
The press briefing concluded with a message of hope and assurance from the NDC. “We are ready to serve Ghana with humility, dedication, and vision,” Kwetey declared. “This is the beginning of a new chapter for our nation, and we invite every Ghanaian to join us on this journey of progress and prosperity.”
