A Ghanaian woman who is a staunch supporter of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken to social media to complain about neglect from her party.

She said that despite working hard for the party's victory in the December 7, 2024, general elections, nobody from the party hierarchy has reached out to support her.
This, she claimed, has turned her into a laughing stock in her community, with members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) teasing her.
Holding a photo frame of herself and President John Mahama, the unidentified NDC supporter said she is surprised that her party is in power while she continues to suffer.
As a result of this, the woman, who was fully covered in hijab, an indication that she could be a Muslim, appealed to President Mahama to come to her aid.
"Dear Ghanaians and sympathisers of President Mahama, please, wherever the NDC is, help me to beg them for help. I have suffered for the NDC. Even the people at Kokompe are teasing me, the NPP supporters are also laughing at me, they say Mahama has come, but I have not been given anything," she lamented.

Reactions as NDC woman complains of 'neglect'
The NDC woman's video has gone viral, sparking reactions from some Ghanaians on social media.
YEN.com.gh compiled a few of the reactions below:
@KandigaNabiya said:
"Can she be precise with the kind of reward she is expecting apart from an improvement in living standards?"
@samuelpalma8 also said:
"Reward? What do people expect when their party wins power? She wants to be paid money or what.. the millions who voted should be paid each too, I guess."
@paa_nimako commented:
"If all the people who supported or campaigned for the NDC to win power were to be compensated or assisted in cash or kind by the government, I am sure the government would break down, and the economy would collapse…"
@lmdzarto also commented:
"This selfish mindset has to stop. Her reward is a better Ghana that everyone is enjoying now. Does she think she is the only one who worked hard for the party?"
