Asiedu Nketia rejects tribalism claims, defends merit-based appointments
Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), dismissed allegations that the governing party is tribalistic, while addressing party executives and grassroots supporters at Asawase in the Ashanti Region as part of his ongoing "Thank You Tour". According to Mr. Asiedu Nketia, appointments under the NDC are guided strictly by competence and national interest rather than ethnic considerations. He said the NDC's philosophy is rooted in inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all Ghanaians, regardless of background or ethnicity.
The tour marks the second phase of post-election engagements following the NDC's victory in the 2024 general elections. He noted that recent criticisms from members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), who accused the NDC of sidelining Ashantis in the appointment of some District Chief Executives (DCEs) from northern Ghana, were inconsistent with the party's long-standing commitment to merit-based governance. He added that the government remains focused on economic recovery and stabilisation following what he described as a challenging economic situation inherited by the administration.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia expressed appreciation to supporters in Asawase and across the region, assuring them that the NDC would continue to pursue inclusive governance and balanced development across the country.
