The Zongo Caucus of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reiterated the party’s commitment to developing Muslim dominated communities across the country.
The Caucus said despite previous projects in the said communities, the NDC’s commitment in that direction was reinforced when Alhaji Mohammed Mamah, also known as Alhaji Cole Younger, was appointed to the party’s national campaign team to lead policy formulation processes for Zongos.
Alhaji Cole Younger was appointed the Zongo Caucus Coordinator to lead the NDC’s campaign ahead of the December 2024 general elections.
In a statement, the NDC communicators in Zongos commended the flag bearer of the NDC, H. E John Mahama, for reposing confidence and “recognizing their significance and granting them pivotal roles in the national development agenda.”
To them, this was a great move especially when the ruling NPP has sidelined the NASARA Coordinator in their national campaign team.
Below is their statement;
Press Statement for Immediate Release
19/6/2024
H.E JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA PRIORITIZES ZONGO WITH STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN ROLE.
The National Zongo Caucus of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on behalf of the Zongo communities, sincerely expresses profound gratitude to H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC for appointing the National Zongo Caucus Coordinator, Alhaji Mohammed Mamah “Cole Younger,” to the national campaign team for the 2024 elections.
This appointment underscores our long-held belief that John Mahama and the NDC have consistently demonstrated unwavering confidence in the Zongos, recognizing their significance and granting them pivotal roles in the national development agenda.
In stark contrast, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer has marginalized the Zongos in his national campaign team, with the Nasara Coordinator notably absent from the campaign structure. The NDC and John Mahama, however, have provided the Zongos with a prominent role. This gesture by the NDC and John Mahama is a clear manifestation of their commitment to the Zongos in the agenda to “build the Ghana we want together.”
It is worth recalling that John Mahama and the NDC are the only presidential candidate and political party to have introduced the Zongo Manifesto in the 2020 elections, a move that the Zongos deeply appreciate and hope to see repeated in the 2024 general elections.
We take this opportunity to congratulate Alhaji Cole Younger and all other appointees on their new roles, assuring them of the full support of the Zongo Caucus in their endeavors.
Once again, thank you H.E. John Dramani Mahama, thank you NDC.
Zongo Caucus Communication Directorate.
