Johnson Asiedu Nketia, a National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for National Chairman, has promised that if won, he will bring the party back to power in 2025.
He would also put into effect a number of changes that would improve accountability and openness while also fostering involvement.

“We have a daunting task facing us as a party to remove the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from office and lead the country to economic recovery; we must be properly organized with leadership that is disciplined, transparent, accountable, fearless, courageous and hardworking to lead the NDC with a chairman who is not compromised.
“I will push for the introduction of term limits for office holders in NDC to encourage more members to participate and make office holders accountable, under my tenure, the NDC will undertake a mass registration of party members to build a more integrated database to reduce disputes about membership and enhance dues collection.
“The NDC will implement strategies that will curb monetization of internal elections to ensure those office holders are elected on merit, continue with financial reforms to give branches, constituencies and regions autonomy to be able to undertake projects and programmes that build the grassroots level,” Mr Nketia pointed out.
“I led the charge for regional, youth, and women representation in the expanded national executives of the party, introduction of the Electoral College system to ensure all members play a role in the election of executives, an efficient system that matches the vision of the party to win power and govern the country to growth and development is,” Mr Nketiah intimated.
