Incoming Fanteakwa South NDC Constituency Chairman aspirant, Mr. Agyekum Dampare, has emphasized the need for stronger leadership and called on party members and supporters to unite and intensify grassroots mobilization to retain power in the 2028 general elections.


He made the call after officially submitting his nomination forms alongside his team of aspirants contesting various constituency executive positions, and after successfully completing the vetting process in Fanteakwa South.


Speaking after the vetting, Mr. Dampare expressed his team's commitment and readiness to serve, stressing the importance of unity, teamwork and dedication in strengthening party structures within the Fanteakwa South Constituency in the Eastern Region.


He seized the opportunity to appeal to delegates for their votes, asking for the mandate to serve. He said his objective is to work relentlessly to secure the Fanteakwa South parliamentary seat and position the NDC for victory in future elections.


According to Mr. Dampare, the NDC must work harder to maintain and improve its political strength in the constituency, following increasing efforts to gain more influence in the area. He encouraged party supporters to engage effectively to build a stronger, more united and vibrant constituency party.


He stressed that his leadership would focus on rebranding the party, strengthening internal structures and empowering the grassroots, while pledging commitment, cooperation and effective leadership to contribute to the NDC's success.


He further noted that winning the Fanteakwa South seat will be achieved through teamwork, effective organization and empowering branch executives to secure victory in the 2028 elections.


He said his campaign is built around three key objectives: *"Establishment of a life insurance welfare scheme for Fanteakwa South NDC members, building of a constituency office, and resetting Fanteakwa South"* if elected.


He called on all NDC faithful in Fanteakwa South to remain committed, united and dedicated as the party prepares for the political journey ahead, and urged the youth to actively participate in the party's mobilization drive, emphasizing that their involvement will play a significant role in expanding the party's support base.


Finally, Mrs. Shirley Naana Osei Ampem, member of the vetting committee and Eastern Regional NDC Women's Organizer, appealed to aspirants to advise their supporters to run a clean campaign to promote peace and unity before, during and after the elections.


She noted that since it is an internal election, they should reserve their energies for the main battle against their main opponent, the NPP, in the 2028 elections.
