The General Secretary-elect for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has promised a refreshing leadership that would propel the party to secure victory in the 2024 general election.

Fifi Kwetey who is set to take the role from Johnson Asiedu Nketia observed that NDC yearned for a different kind of leader and that is exactly what he will as presenting on the table.

While commending his competitors for the healthy competition, Mr Kwetey said he fits the pedigree the delegates wanted.

“I was not being complacent when saying what I was saying on the back of travelling to all 275 constituencies; spoken to them and listening to them. Therefore, I could feel exactly what they were yearning for so I knew what I was talking about when I said I was confident of winning.

“I was not underrating my opponents, they also conducted a very strong campaign as well but I just felt that the mood of our teeming party supporters and delegates here wanted a different kind of leader and I fitted that pedigree far more,” he said on Saturday.

Speaking to JoyNews after his victory at the NDC’s national delegate congress, Mr Kwetey said uniting the members of the NDC after the internal election is pivotal to the party’s victory in the 2024 elections.

He further revealed that his strongest competitor, Peter Boamah Otukunor, had congratulated him on his victory.

According to him, “he looks forward to working closely together with him” as the party gears up to take power from the governing New Patriotic Party.
