The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, says the success of President John Mahama’s administration will play a vital role in the party’s future electoral fortunes.
According to him, the NDC’s performance in 2028 will largely depend on the accomplishments of President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking at Mahama’s inauguration in Accra on Tuesday, January 7, Mr Nketiah stressed the direct link between the President’s performance and the party’s future, noting that “if he succeeds, it presents different opportunities.”
He continued; “If he doesn’t succeed, I am afraid it will get to a point where even if the flagbearership is handed to you on a silver platter, you will be running away from it.”
Mr Nketiah called on party members to rally behind Mahama’s administration, emphasising the need for a collective effort to ensure its success.
“Our focus ought to be on making sure President Mahama succeeds so that anybody at all who replaces him as our candidate will have a solid foundation to ride on to victory,” he added.
The NDC National Chairman also advised party members with future political ambitions to prioritise supporting the current administration, warning against actions that could undermine Mahama’s success.
“I am, through this medium, advising everybody within the party who is nursing ambitions for the future to make sure that their actions today do not compromise or affect the prospects of President John Mahama succeeding.
“The immediate focus ought to be that President Mahama must succeed in an excellent manner so that any other person succeeding him can build on his success,” he added.
