A distraught supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sparked public debate after accusing the party of neglect despite what he describes as years of personal sacrifice to help secure electoral victory.
The man, identified as a commercial driver popularly known as “Ex-Doe,” claimed he sold two taxis to finance campaign activities for the party between 2017 and 2024.
According to him, the funds were used to purchase fuel, print campaign materials, and support grassroots mobilisation efforts, particularly in the Madina area.
In a viral video that surfaced on social media, the visibly emotional supporter lamented that after the NDC’s return to power following the 2024 general elections, he has been left without any form of recognition or opportunity.
He alleged that attempts to reach key party figures, including the Member of Parliament for Madina, were unsuccessful, leaving him feeling abandoned.
“I used my own money to support the party for years, but today nobody cares about me,” he said, adding that he now regrets the decision to invest heavily in partisan politics.
The man further announced his decision to withdraw completely from political activities, saying he needs to rebuild his life after exhausting his resources.
The incident has triggered mixed reactions among Ghanaians, with some expressing sympathy for his situation while others argue that political support should not be driven by expectations of personal reward.
The development also reflects a broader concern among sections of the NDC grassroots regarding alleged neglect in government appointments and opportunities. In recent weeks, some aggrieved supporters reportedly protested in parts of the country over what they describe as exclusion from benefits following the party’s electoral success.
Party officials have, however, urged patience, noting that governance is a process and opportunities cannot be distributed immediately to all supporters.
