Asiedu Nketia defends NDC against tribalism claims on Ashanti 'Thank You Tour'
Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), rejected claims that the governing party is tribalistic during his ongoing "Thank You Tour" in the Ashanti Region. He insisted that appointments under the NDC are based strictly on competence and national interest rather than ethnic considerations.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia addressed party executives and grassroots members at Asawase in the Ashanti Region. The tour is the second leg of a post-election engagement exercise following the NDC's victory in the 2024 general elections, and began in Asawase - a stronghold of the party and home constituency of Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak. He explained that recent criticisms by members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing the NDC of sidelining Ashantis through the appointment of some District Chief Executives (DCEs) from northern Ghana, were misplaced and contradictory. He also highlighted the party's electoral performance in the Ashanti Region, describing it as unprecedented.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia expressed appreciation to party supporters in Asawase and across the region for their loyalty, assuring them that the NDC would continue to prioritise inclusive governance and development across all parts of the country.
