NDC’s 2024 victory will be Ghana’s second independence –Joseph Yamin

The National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Joseph Yamin, has said that NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections will be Ghana’s second independence.

Speaking in an interview, he said the country will be destroyed if the NDC fails to secure victory in the 2024 presidential elections.

“The second independence of this country will come in 2024, on 7th December and we are committed to do that. If we don’t save Ghana in 2024, Ghana is destroyed.

He added that the NDC under John Mahama’s administration will secure a better future for Ghana.

“Apart from the NDC, which other political party do you think can secure the second independence of this country? Apart from John Mahama, which other person do you think can save Ghana?”

He also added that the current national executives are poised to help NDC secure victory in the 2024 elections.

“On the same day they voted for us, we assured victory in 2024 is assured. And we’ll make sure that we write that history,” he said.

He indicated that NPP should forget about breaking the eight as they don’t have a presidential candidate.

“Who are they breaking the eight with?” he asked

He continued, “because if they really mean it and they know what they’re saying, it’s not at this time. They can say that after they have selected their leader. But today you don’t have one yet you claim you’re breaking the eight.”

Meanwhile, the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should forget about winning seats in constituencies and the general 2024 election.

In a Tweet, the former Deputy Director of Research at the Jubilee House asked the NDC to kiss goodbye to the Tamale South, Asawase and Ketu North parliamentary seats after removing the MPs of the constituents from leadership roles in Parliament.

Mr Ahiagbah also asserted that the development clearly shows that the “NDC does not believe in stakeholder consultation or engagement; they only talk about it in style. That is their politics. Let’s not be taken in by their theatrics. See how they handle their internal stakeholders.”

He added that the NDC preaches virtues and practices otherwise.

This follows the sudden change in the Minority’s parliamentary leadership.

A statement, signed by the General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey, announced the replacement of Tamale South MP Haruna Iddrisu by Ranking Member on the Finance Committee and Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam Constituency in the Central Region, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, as the Minority Leader.

Armah Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle, has also come in to replace Ketu North MP James Klutse Avedzi as the Deputy Minority Leader. At the same time, Kwame Agbodza has replaced Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak as the Minority Whip.
