The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has emphasized the party’s commitment to rebuilding Ghana’s state institutions as a priority if it wins the December 7 elections.
Addressing a massive crowd at the NDC’s final rally held at Zurak Park in Madina, Accra, on Thursday, December 5, Mr. Nketia underscored the importance of restoring governance and accountability structures to ensure sustainable development.
“As far as I am concerned, resetting our state institutions—those responsible for governance, accountability, and natural resource management—is far more crucial than isolated development projects,” he stated.
Rebuilding for Sustainable Progress
Mr. Nketia outlined the NDC’s vision to rebuild and strengthen institutions that are critical for national progress. He urged Ghanaians to support the party’s approach to laying a strong foundation for lasting development.
“In the first year, let us focus on resetting the institutions of governance and democracy in this country. When we get these institutions right, any development we undertake will be sustainable and impactful,” he explained.
Warning Against Institutional Decay
The NDC chairman warned of the dangers of neglecting state institutions, noting that no development agenda could succeed in the face of institutional decay. He called on Ghanaians to join the NDC’s mission to restore integrity and efficiency to these critical pillars of democracy.
“Leaving our institutions in their current state of disrepair will only undermine any progress we hope to achieve. It is time to act decisively to fix them,” he emphasized.
As the nation prepares to head to the polls, Mr. Nketia’s message highlighted the NDC’s focus on governance reform as the cornerstone of its agenda for national transformation.
