Asiedu Nketia pleads with NDC supporters

Earlier, Johnson Asiedu Nketia appealed to party supporters who are yet to receive appointments to remain calm and exercise patience.

He emphasised that appointments under the current administration, led by President John Mahama, are limited.

According to the NDC national chairman, the President can't grant appointments to every member of the party due to their commitment to operating a lean government.

Speaking to party faithful at Winneba in the Effutu Constituency as part of his nationwide thank-you tour on Thursday, February 12, 2026, Asiedu Nketia acknowledged the frustrations expressed by some members over the lack of opportunities to serve in President Mahama's government.

He, however, assured them that their concerns are understood and appreciated by the party leadership.

“I am aware that some of you are unhappy because you did not receive an appointment upon our return to power. This is understandable. It is the reason why I am embarking on this ‘Thank You Tour, to explain these issues for your understanding,” he said.
“The challenge is that, given the number of appointments the constitution permits President Mahama to make, not all members of the NDC can be accommodated. So please be patient. There is no need to be angry with the party.”

Asiedu Nketia further cautioned party members against resorting to anger or public criticism over the lack of appointments.

He urged them to use established internal channels to seek redress for any grievances they may have.
