The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ofosu Ampofo, has assured Ghanaians that the party will return to power in 2024 to manage the nation’s socioeconomic development better.
He reiterated that it was only when the NDC comes to power that the nation witnesses’ astronomical transformation, growth and development which the citizenry could attest to.
Mr Ampofo decried the situation where the government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had abandoned projects that were started by the NDC, which were 95 per cent complete, adding that “when we go round the country, we say accommodation is the greatest problem and challenge the nation is facing, and you go and see Saglemi Housing Project, almost five years, it is lying in ruins and this is the state of our country”. Mr Ofosu-Ampofo said.
With regards to corruption perception indexes, he observed that the worse performance of the NDC was the best performance of the NPP, and expressed concern about the culture of silence and indicated that “the NDC will continue to celebrate the June 4, because it is the day of justice, probity, transparency and accountability on the calendar of the party.
“We will celebrate it today, tomorrow, continue to eulogise Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings for his rescue mission that brought the country into peace, unity, stability and
June 4 was relevant yesterday, relevant today and it will continue to be relevant forever and ever so let us continue to uphold the principles.
“The party will soon undertake an outreach programme, sending it to the doorsteps of the people, rekindle their power, give the party back to the people and hold a special national delegates congress by the end of 2021 to deliberate on important issues affecting the party and avoid the situation where in an election year members and supporters miss critical issues affecting the party.
“This is necessary because anytime a national delegate’s congress is convened for elections, delegates, supporters and members tend to miss the critical ingredients affecting the party where more attention is usually placed on the elections to the detriment of other pressing issues.
“The special national delegates’ congress will be looking at the structure, constitutional review and how to reposition the NDC to take commanding heights of democratic dispensation by making it an all-inclusive activity to bring all stakeholders on board, everybody will be found to be part of it, together we will build a formidable party and no one will be left behind,” Mr Ampofo proffered.

You, Asiedu Nketia, Brazil Ankrah, Ex president name them. What has changed? The same people that we know who have been rejected twice. You guys were told that the 2020 election was going to be the two candidates that we have witnessed their administration but you did not or pretended not to get it. It is increasingly going to be Mr Mahama and Alhaji Dr Bawumia.Who would the majority of Ghanaians trust and want to be their leader? I can confidently say that Bawumia can get votes from the ndc voters more than Mahama getting votes from the npp voters. As a Moslem he can do better than all the previous npp candidates among the Muslim community. As the first non Akan presidential candidate for the npp tradition he can perform well in the four northern regions, Oti and the Volta regions the traditional strongholds of the ndc.
Indeed Ghanaians have got short memories as your presidential candidate says if not how long ago was your party in government. The same ndc propagandists “Fix Ghana” shouting should be told that this government was just re-elected five months ago. Wait until 2024 election time, npp with Bawumia as their leader is going to win hands down. With large Moslem population cutting across the nation I fear for the ndc. Npp can win over 1.2 million votes in the Ashanti region with Bawumia as their presidential candidate. Who is going to stand in the way of Wontumi if the strong Asewase constituency decides to sit back. It is identity politics all over the world these days take it or leave it.
YOU MISMANAGED THE ECONOMY AND BROUGHT ABOUT THE MESS WE FIND OURSELVES IN, AND WHEN GOOD MANAGERS ARE MANAGING AND FIXING YOUR MESS, YOU COME AROUND TO SAY THIS HORRIBLE THINGS OF WHICH YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED OF. WHO TOLD YOU YOU ARE COMING IN 2024? WAIT AND SEE WHETHER NDC WILL BE AROUND AT THE TIME. THEY WILL ALL RUN TO THE WINNING PARTY, NPP.
This guy must be living in a ***barred word***'s paradise and can only be saying this to the marines. The mere being mischievous and diabolic about all the good things the Government is doing doesn't just translate into votes. Ofori Ampofo might be holding the good people of Ghana in disesteem, and it is indeed very insulting to the intelligence of Ghanaians. The honorable Minister didn't lie to anybody. It is unfortunate, that the NDC to date had not realized that, it had been responsible for most of the mess that needs to be fixed. Then, the NDC had ruled Ghana for 27 years, longer than any Government in the history of Ghana. It is worth noting that all social and human-centered interventions like the FSHS and NHS for example, had all been undertaken by the NPP-Administration.
Mr. Ampofo, do you remember Kufour's affordable houses? You need to check your memory lost. thanks
Oh noooo! Please go for your medication.
