The National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has rejected claims that his ongoing nationwide “Thank You” tour is a political strategy ahead of the 2028 elections.
Speaking to party members and traditional leaders in Hohoe in the Volta Region, Mr Asiedu Nketiah said the tour is a long-standing NDC tradition aimed at expressing appreciation to Ghanaians for their support during the 2024 elections and reinforcing the party’s commitment to governance and accountability.
“I want to be known as a grateful National Chairman,” he said. “I want to continue my tradition of deliberate engagement with our people. Those who disagree with me, please continue with your disagreement—it’s part of our contest of ideas.”
The NDC chairman explained that the tour provides an opportunity to strengthen unity within the party, address internal concerns, and update supporters on the government’s developmental agenda.
He underscored that ongoing national efforts to tackle illegal mining and corruption, noting that these initiatives require patience and sustained commitment before their impact becomes visible.
Mr Asiedu Nketiah also mentioned key infrastructure projects in the Volta Region, such as the resumption of work on the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) campus and the Eastern Corridor Road, both of which, he said, remain high on the government’s list of priorities.
“Our focus is on building trust through action,” he stressed. “We ask our supporters to stay united and continue backing the government so that we can deliver on our mandate.”
Mr Asiedu Nketiah’s “Thank You” tour forms part of a broader nationwide programme covering all 16 regions. It seeks to acknowledge the contributions of party executives, cadres, and grassroots organizers who helped secure the NDC’s return to power in 2024.
Despite his assurances, some sections of the public and media have suggested that the initiative could serve as a subtle launchpad for a potential presidential bid in 2028. However, Mr Asiedu Nketiah insists his focus remains on unity, gratitude, and strengthening the NDC’s connection with the people.
