The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has aligned itself with the viewpoint that the government's lithium mining agreement with Barari DV is not in the best interest of the country.

The party highlighted, among other concerns, that the requirement in the mining lease agreement for the establishment of a chemical plant to process Ghana’s lithium locally was notably weak.
