The Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has issued a call to action for Ghanaians to take all necessary measures to safeguard the nation's democracy and stability.

He has encouraged citizens to demonstrate courage and to vocalize their concerns regarding actions that could jeopardize the country's peace and order.

“We have never had this length of democratic stability, so, it is something that we should value and not toy with,” he said.

“We have never come this low, where. as a country, we are unable to service our debt let alone to pay, we have never come this low where corruption in the country has become like an American buffet, eat all you can for $10.

“We are at a point where our nation’s Central Bank, on paper, does not exist, we are at a stage where our security services have been politically compromised.

“The least said about our justice system the better and in all this, what helps to stabilise nations in crisis like this is the freedom to demonstrate because when people are frustrated and they get the opportunity to vent out their feelings, it’s a way of preventing an explosion, but that right too is being trampled upon,” he said.

Mr. Nketiah cautioned the Electoral Commission (EC) against implementing policies and initiatives that could potentially disenfranchise Ghanaians, especially the youth, and undermine the nation's political stability.

“I am calling on civil society organisations, opinion leaders, faith-based organisations to bring pressure to bear on the government to make sure that the last right of the youth to cast their ballot and to determine their leaders are not taken away from them, because when you block peaceful avenues of change you are inviting violent avenues of change,” he stated.

He called upon the recently inaugurated national executives to exert their utmost effort in securing victory for the party in the December 2024 elections.

General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, similarly urged the new executives to prioritize the party's interests over their individual aspirations to ensure a successful outcome.
