NDC Chairman Expresses Gratitude to Amenfi Central for Support in 2024 Elections

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has extended heartfelt thanks to the chiefs and people of Amenfi Central in the Western Region of Ghana for their unwavering support during the 2024 general elections. Speaking at a rally as part of his ongoing nationwide "Thank You Tour," Asiedu Nketia emphasized the party's commitment to delivering tangible development to the constituency, describing their contribution as "critical to the party's victory."

The event, attended by party supporters, traditional leaders, and public officials, underscored the importance of Amenfi Central's loyalty. Asiedu Nketia assured residents that the NDC would not take their continued backing for granted, pledging that the government led by President John Dramani Mahama would prioritize the constituency in key social and economic interventions. These initiatives aim to accelerate local development and improve the quality of life for residents.

"We recognize the trust you've placed in us, and we are committed to translating that trust into action," Asiedu Nketia stated during the rally on January 29, 2026. "Amenfi Central is a cornerstone of our support, and we will ensure your needs are met with the urgency and seriousness they deserve."

However, the chiefs and community leaders also voiced their concerns about the constituency's deplorable infrastructure, including crumbling roads, lack of modern schools, portable drinking water, and functional health centers. Nana Hyia Agyemang, the revered chief of Manso Amenfi, praised President Mahama's governance but urged the government to address these pressing issues.

"While we commend the leadership of President Mahama and Chairman Asiedu Nketia, we urge the government to address the dire state of our roads, which are in deplorable condition," Nana Agyemang said. "Amenfi Central lacks basic facilities such as modern schools, portable drinking water, and functional health centers. These gaps hinder our progress."

Joana Gyan Cudjoe, the Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, highlighted ongoing government projects in the district, including road rehabilitation, health facility upgrades, water, and education initiatives aimed at uplifting living standards. She framed her mandate as a "call to greater service" and assured constituents that their voices would continue to guide the government's actions.

The NDC's strong showing in Amenfi Central during the December 7, 2024, elections reflected its consolidation in the Western Region, a traditionally competitive political terrain. Asiedu Nketia's pledge of targeted investment aligns with the party's promise to bridge regional disparities and foster equitable growth.

However, Amenfi Central's leaders and residents remain cautiously optimistic, stressing that words must be matched with visible infrastructure and services to sustain long-term trust. As the "Thank You Tour" continues, the NDC faces rising expectations to deliver on promises that align with both the party's electoral success and the grassroots needs of its most loyal supporters. The party's ability to address the constituency's concerns and deliver on its pledges will be crucial in maintaining the trust and loyalty of the people of Amenfi Central.
