National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has dismissed suggestions that his ongoing nationwide “Thank You” tour is part of a strategy to launch a presidential campaign ahead of the 2028 elections.
Addressing party members and traditional authorities in Hohoe, Volta Region, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah explained that the tour is a continuation of the NDC’s tradition of expressing appreciation to Ghanaians following elections.
He said it also serves to reaffirm the party’s dedication to accountability and good governance.
“I want to be known as a grateful National Chairman. This tour is about continuing our culture of engagement and gratitude. Those who disagree with me, please continue, it’s part of our contest of ideas,” he said.
According to him, the initiative is designed to promote unity within the party, address internal issues, and keep supporters informed about government programmes.
He emphasized that national initiatives, including efforts to combat illegal mining and corruption, take time to show tangible results but remain top government priorities.
Touching on development projects in the Volta Region, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah mentioned the ongoing work at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) and the Eastern Corridor Road as examples of the government’s continued commitment to regional growth.
“Our focus is on building trust through action,” he stressed. “We urge our supporters to stay united and keep faith with the government so we can deliver fully on our promises.”
The NDC chairman’s “Thank You” tour is expected to cover all 16 regions, recognizing the contributions of party leaders, cadres, and grassroots members who played a part in securing the NDC’s victory in the 2024 general elections.
While some political observers view the tour as a subtle step toward a possible presidential bid, Asiedu Nketia insists his intentions are rooted in gratitude and party unity, not personal ambition.
