A staunch supporter of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has broken down in tears, lamenting the lack of acknowledgement for his support for the party.

According to the middle-aged man, identified as Ex-Doe, who is a commercial driver at the Madina Zongo Junction, party leadership, especially the Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu, has neglected him since winning the 2024 elections.

NDC supporter recounts wasted investments in campaigns

The seemingly disgruntled NDC supporter claimed he sold two of his cars (taxis) to purchase fuel, print stickers, banners, and paraphernalia to support the party's campaign activities.

Despite these sacrifices, he said he has been ignored after helping the party win the 2024 elections, adding that Francis-Xavier Sosu no longer answers his calls.

"I used my personal money to buy fuel from 2020 to 2024 for Lawyer Sosu and Mahama. He [Sosu] won the election, but Mahama didn't win. I did same from 2021 to 2024, using my money to campaign. I bought fuel, stickers, banners for Sosu to win, but after the victory no one calls me and no man minds me," he lamented.

Consequently, Ex-Doe said he has been left with no other option than to quit politics, completely withdrawing his support for the NDC to focus on his life and save what is left of his meagre resources.

I'm quitting politics because my money has gone into it. I sold two of my taxis to do politics, but I didn't get anything from it, and so from today, I, Ex-Doe of Madina Zongo Junction, I quit politics," he stated while shedding tears.
