In a strategic move to secure electoral victory in December, the Running-mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, is spearheading efforts in the Central Region to capture twenty parliamentary seats in the upcoming 2024 elections.
With the party currently holding 13 out of the 23 seats in the region, Professor Opoku-Agyemang is determined to see the region “turn green” by securing convincing wins in both the Presidential and Parliamentary contests on December 7, 2024.
Addressing a gathering of Regional and Constituency Executives, the Regional Parliamentary Caucus, and representatives of the Central Regional Council of Elders at the University of Cape Coast, Professor Opoku-Agyemang emphasised the importance of unity, respect, and a shared commitment among party members.
She stressed the need for mutual respect in interactions, regardless of rank or position, as the party works towards its goal of securing twenty parliamentary seats and beyond.
“Our aim is to secure twenty seats. We must avoid complacency in our strongholds and overcome any doubts about winning specific constituencies. Our party has a history of triumphing in seemingly challenging areas,” she asserted.
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang urged party members to move past grievances and focus on the collective interests of the party.
She emphasised the importance of constructive communication and understanding, even in challenging situations.
Central Region Chairman of the NDC, Professor Richard Asiedu, echoed these sentiments, emphasising the monumental impact of securing victories in both the presidential and parliamentary races. The forum also addressed fundraising efforts to support party activities in the region, including contributions towards the limited voter registration exercise.
The event saw a turnout of Party Executives, including Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Nana Brew Butler, Chairman of the Central Region Caucus in Accra, Members of Parliament, Parliamentary Candidates, and numerous party executives and activists.
