The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to revitalize Ghana’s institutions through the “Reset the Country” agenda.
Speaking at a mini rally in Mamfe-Akuapem and Kwamoso in the Akuapem North Constituency as part of his campaign tour in the Eastern Region, Asiedu Nketia explained the promise made by the NDC’s flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama to “Reset” means to restore the strength and independence of institutions that have been weakened under the current administration.
According to Asiedu Nketia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has undermined the effective functioning of democracy by running down key institutions.
He stressed that the “resetting” agenda proposed by Mahama would ensure that institutions such as the police, judiciary, and the Electoral Commission operate independently and efficiently.
“The resetting agenda means institutions will be strong and independent. The police will work independently, judges will operate without external influence, and the Attorney General will no longer be able to secretly influence judicial decisions. If these issues persist, we are not in a functioning democracy. When President Mahama says we are going to reset the country, this is what he means,” Asiedu Nketia said.
He assured that under Mahama’s leadership, institutions including the military will function efficiently, and accountability will be enforced, creating a stronger democratic framework in Ghana.
At a rally in Nsutam, the Parliamentary candidate for NDC in Okere Johnson Asiedu Nketia said Okere constituency was NDC stronghold hence urged them to work hard to regain the seat.
The Parliamentary Candidate for NDC, Prince Anim Owiredu lamented that Okere has no tertiary institution hence promised to ensure establishment of a nursing college is in the next NDC government.
The Chiefs of Nsuta and surrounding communities pledged overwhelming votes for the NDC come December 7.
