Election 2024: Prof. Naana Agyemang to lead Central Region NDC to win 20 seats

Vice Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, is leading a charge with the Executive Council of the National Democratic Congress in the Central Region to marshal efforts to win twenty parliamentary seats for the party in the 2024 General Elections.

The party currently has thirteen out of the total number of twenty-three seats in the region and Professor Opoku-Agyeman has resolved to ensure that Central Region “turns green by winning convincingly in both the Presidential and Parliamentary elections” after votes are counted on December 7.

Attaining such a feat will require fortitude, dedication, and an unwavering commitment, especially in an environment where there will be mutual respect for one another and an absolute appreciation of the unique and distinct role each member, from the low to the top rank, plays.

Attending a forum of regional and constituency executives, the regional Parliamentary Caucus, and representatives of the Central Regional Council of Elders at the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Cape Coast, the Vice-Presidential Candidate stressed the need to ensure that “our utterances are seasoned with respect for one another irrespective of who you are and who you are dealing with” if the quest of annexing twenty parliamentary seats and more, is what drives each member of the party.

“We want to win twenty seats. We should not be complacent about the idea of a stronghold and the fear that we have not won this or that constituency before, so we will rest on our oars. Our party is replete with stories of how we were able to overcome and win in areas that might have been thought to have been impossible.”

She also stressed the need for party members to refrain from holding onto actions or pronouncements that happened in the past and forge ahead in unity in the supreme interest of the party, as it will be instrumental in the party’s forward march to victory in the upcoming general elections.

“I don’t support someone. Someone got me angry. That is in the past and should belong there. But that will also require us to be guided in our dealings and pronouncements to each other, recognising the fact that sometimes some words directed at us are hard to let go.”

Central Region Chairman of the party, Professor Richard Asiedu, said every effort was being made to ensure that the region falls for the NDC, stressing that “the gains will be monumental for both presidential and parliamentary.

The forum discussed other issues relating to winning twenty constituencies in the region.

The forum was also used to raise funds in support of the party’s activities in the region.

Special donations were made by some members to support the region and the constituencies in the upcoming limited voter registration exercise.

In attendance were Party Executives, the Minority Leader, Honourable Ato Forson, Nana Brew Butler, Chairman of the Central Region Caucus in Accra, Members of Parliament, Parliamentary candidates and many Party executives and activists.
