NDC Youth Organizer Raises Alarm Over Proposed Increase in Party Filing Fees, Threatens Demonstration

Image
The Dean of Youth Organizers for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Eastern Region, Oscar Kennedy Nyarko, has strongly criticised what he describes as the growing monetisation of leadership positions within the party, warning that the development could undermine the NDC's social democratic principles. In a statement addressed to party members and supporters, Mr. Nyarko expressed concern over what he believes is an excessive increase in filing fees for internal party elections. According to him, the proposed fees risk making leadership positions accessible only to wealthy individuals rather than competent and dedicated party members. He argued that the NDC, which prides itself on its social democratic ideology, should not allow financial strength to become the determining factor for contesting party positions. He questioned why party leaders have remained silent over what he described as a worrying trend that could gradually erode the party's founding philosophy. Mr. ...

Treat Politicians as Agents of Development, Not Father Christmas – NDC C/R Deputy Secretary Hopeful

Image
  Central Region – Anas Ahmed, who is vying for Central Regional Deputy Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, has urged voters to stop electing leaders based on short-term handouts and to instead assess them on their capacity to deliver development. In a statement, Mr. Ahmed cautioned electorates against being swayed by what he described as “fake love, generosity and care” displayed by some politicians during election periods. “The gospel truth is that anytime money exchanges hands, some of these individuals see it as an investment,” he said. “They expect a return, and once they get what they want, they disappear until the next election cycle.” According to him, money sent via mobile money or distributed directly to voters is not charity, but a transaction aimed at securing votes.  “My brothers and sisters, do not fall into the trap of these syndicates. They are fake,” Mr. Ahmed stated. “Yes, this is the bitter truth and we must accept it, or we will continue to ridic...
