The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has outlined the party’s plans to focus on rebuilding Ghana’s state institutions if it wins the December 7 election.

Speaking at the party’s final rally at Zurak Park in Madina in Accra, Mr Nketia stressed that restoring governance and accountability structures would take precedence over development projects in the first year of an NDC administration.

“As far as I am concerned, the reset of our state institutions—those of governance, accountability, and the management of our natural resources—is far more important than isolated development projects,” he declared on Thursday, December 5.

Mr Nketia urged Ghanaians to support the NDC’s vision of restoring integrity to institutions critical for national progress.

“For the first year, I urge all of you to let us focus on resetting the institutions of governance and democracy in this country. If we get the institutions right, then any development we undertake will be lasting,” he said.

He cautioned against leaving state institutions in their current state of decay, warning that no development initiative could thrive under such conditions.
