The Current Central Regional Deputy Organizer and aspiring Central Regional Organizer, Cde Joseph Mensah Abakah, popularly known as @Commander 1, has admonished NDC leadership to ensure seamless and transparent branch elections, describing them as the bedrock of the party’s electoral resurgence.
According to him, the integrity of the upcoming internal polls will directly shape the party’s capacity to secure victory in 2028.
“The branch elections will determine the exhilaration of victory the party is yearning to achieve in the 2028 elections,” he stated, adding that “electing the right leaders with unblemish electoral fairness it will go along way to give the party solid resounding victory in the 2028 general elections.”
He further cautioned that the process must be insulated from manipulation and partisan interference, warning that any attempt to skew outcomes would undermine the party’s momentum.
“The Elections should trade on free and fair devoid of political manipulation to favor certain candidates thus such political uncalculated move will have consequences in the forward match of 2028 general elections,” Abakah emphasized.
In a clarion call to aspirants, the organizer urged delegates to jettison divisive rhetoric and conduct campaigns with decorum, stressing that internal discord only weakens the NDC while emboldening the opposition.
“He also called on all aspiring delegates to eschew politics of backbiting and big stouting. Attacking opponents with invectives will invite bad omen for the party. He added that campaigns should be decorum because the NPP are the target and not the NDC,” he reiterated.
Cde Abakah’s intervention comes at a critical juncture as the NDC begins groundwork for branch-level restructuring, with party faithfuls watching closely to see if the process will reflect unity, fairness, and strategic foresight ahead of the next general elections.
