The leadership of the Glasgow Branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wishes to congratulate the newly elected national executives and all delegates for a smooth and peaceful transition of power within the rank and file of the party.

Indeed, the 10th National Delegate Congress sent a clear signal to Ghanaians about the readiness of the NDC to wrestle power from the elephant. The NDC won the day and further strengthened the democratic dispensation within the upper echelons of the party.

The party is now well positioned going into 2024 to secure nothing but victory to save Ghanaians from the hardship bestowed on us by the Akuffo Addo-led administration. The newly elected executives have sent shock waves through the spine of the NPP.

The election of Johnson Aseidu Nkatia and Fifi Fiavi Kwetey as National Chairman and General Secretary, respectively, demonstrates the party's commitment to achieving Ghana's second independence.

This time, however, it is not from our colonial masters, but from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The introduction of "Firebrand," Joseph Yamin, as the party's national organiser gives further credence that the NPP will be no match for the NDC going into 2024.

The party has further set the pace in terms of gender balance within the newly elected executives. As a result, we would like to congratulate all of our women who won or ran for any position for having the courage to contribute their quota to mother Ghana through the party.The NDC has always been a party for all, so there is a place for everyone, whether they win or lose.

We therefore encourage all to come on board and admonish those who won to show leadership by roping in all contestants who were not successful in the elections. Indeed, we cannot fail Ghanaians, so we cannot leave any stone unturned.

The clarion call to iron out all differences is a must for every true sympathiser of the NDC going into the 2024 elections.

We wish Ghanaians the best this festive season, though we share their plight with prices of basic amenities and food commodities skyrocketing daily. Indeed, this Christmas will go down as one of the worst yuletides of all time, given how the Ghanaian economy has sunk to an all-time low.

Only a select few in power are enjoying the national cake with their kith and kin in the face of abject poverty in most homes in Ghana. We can only encourage Ghanaians not to despair but to hold on and keep themselves safe during this festive season, as our political saviour in the person of incoming President John Dramani Mahama is on a rescue mission to save us from this aristocratic and nepotistic type of governance.

Lastly, we wish our National Communication Officer, Comrade Sammy Gyamfi, a happy marriage. Indeed, who finds a worthy wife, for her price is far above rubies.

Signed:

Dr. Tabbi Wilberforce Awotwe

Communication Officer, NDC Glasgow Branch
