The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman for the Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency, Ofori-Atta Evans, has called on President John Dramani Mahama, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), and other government appointees to recognise and reward party grassroots workers who contributed to the NDC’s victory in the 2024 general elections.
He made the call at a ceremony held in Akyem Abenase in the Eastern Region, where items were distributed to polling station executives as part of activities marking the NDC’s one year in office.
According to Mr Ofori-Atta Evans, the party’s success was largely driven by the hard work and sacrifices of foot soldiers at the grassroots level, stressing that they must not be neglected after the electoral victory.
As part of the initiative, the constituency chairman distributed items including 30,150 palm oil seedlings, weedicides, food items, and other farming inputs to polling station chairmen, noting that the gesture was designed to support livelihoods in the predominantly farming constituency.
Speaking to the media, he urged government officials to prioritise the welfare of party workers who laboured tirelessly during the campaign period, adding that recognising and rewarding them would motivate others to remain committed to the party.
Some polling station chairmen who received the items expressed gratitude to the constituency chairman for the support and endorsed his call, insisting that foot soldiers must benefit from the party’s electoral success.
