The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Kwetey, has urged parents in the Volta Region to dissuade their children from joining the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He advocated for parents to influence their children's political affiliations and encourage them to support the NDC.
During an address to a group of NDC supporters last week, as part of the party's flagbearer's sensitization campaign for the December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, Kwetey acknowledged the challenges facing the party but emphasised that the NDC is the best choice for the region.
The former Ketu South Member of Parliament added that the NDC will prioritise the well-being of the people in the Volta Region when elected.
“It looks as if it is wrong for us, Volta people, to take NDC as a religion. There is nothing wrong with that. Some of our young people from Volta, think it is something of pride to say as for us, we are not like our fathers and uncles, we believe we should not [just accept something they believe in, and that it is something of pride to choose to be independent minded].
“This party [NDC] may not be the perfect party. It may not be a party that has always delivered on all its promises, but it is our responsibility to ensure that our children remain loyal to this commission to be able to make it better."
