Asiedu Nketia Says NDC Will Not Be Intimidated In Akyem Abuakwa

• The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said his party will not be intimidated in Akyem Abuakwa
• He said the party will no longer sit idle for certain elements in the area to undermine the party's campaign efforts and electoral prospects
• He said his party has put in place measures to counter such unwelcome actions and has urged the electorates to support his party

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said his party will no longer tolerate any form of intimidation against its supporters in Kyebi and the wider Abuakwa South constituency.

Johnson Asiedu Nketia cited attacks against the party’s agents during elections and the 1996 burning of the NDC constituency office in Kyebi as reasons for his comments.

Addressing electorates at Akyem Adukrom on Monday, September 2, 2024, Aseidu Nketia described the attacks as undemocratic and an affront to the ideals JB Danquah, an indigene of Akyem Abuakwa, stood for.

He said JB Danquah’s championing of multi-party democracy in Ghana will not be upheld by his kinsmen if such attacks continue in Akyem Abuakwa.

“It means he wasted his time because the multi-party democracy he championed is not working in his hometown,” he stated.

Asiedu Nketia also vowed that his party would henceforth not accept intimidation in the Abuakwa South constituency.

He said the NDC will not be impeded in its campaign trail and intends to conduct an intense campaign in the Akyem Abuakwa area.

“As the NPP goes to my hometown to campaign, I have also come here to campaign,” he said.

He said the NDC will also take all necessary steps to protect its interests in the constituency.

Asiedu Nketia also urged the electorates to optimise development in the upcoming elections.

Nketia says corrupt people should fear NDC

Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has responded to critics who label the NDC as a threatening alternative to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He dismissed such critiques, arguing that they come from individuals attempting to evade accountability for their corruption and mismanagement.

According to Asiedu Nketia, these critics fear the NDC's potential return to power because it would expose their misdeeds.

His comments followed a warning from the NPP advising voters to avoid the NDC in the 2024 elections to prevent a recurrence of the problems experienced under the previous Mahama administration.
