The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged aspirants in the party’s constituency executive elections to accept the results and work together to strengthen the party.
Speaking at the Ketu North Constituency Delegates Conference at Weta in the Volta Region on Sunday, October 25, 2026, Mr Asiedu Nketiah said he had deliberately stayed away from constituency elections nationwide to avoid influencing delegates’ choices or appearing to favour particular candidates.
He said his position as National Chairman required him to remain neutral so he could reconcile members and unite the party after the elections, regardless of who won.
“Everybody in the NDC is my friend and family member. If I select some of you and call you my friends, it means the others are my enemies, but I believe all of you are my friends,” he said.
Mr Asiedu Nketiah urged unsuccessful aspirants not to view their defeats as a rejection by the party, noting that only one person could occupy a particular position at a time. He encouraged them to remain committed to the NDC, saying they could have opportunities to serve in other capacities in the future.
He also urged delegates to allow the best candidates to emerge and appealed to all aspirants to accept the results in good faith.
“What matters is not who wins, but how that person wins and how we are able to put the party together after the election,” he said.
Mr Asiedu Nketiah expressed confidence that the NDC would emerge stronger from the exercise if members remained united after the results were declared. Enditem
