NDC to hold public lectures, commemorative events to mark June 4 

Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), unveiled a series of activities nationwide to mark the June 4, 2026 edition of the party's annual "NDC Month." The theme for the commemoration is: "Strengthening State Institutions: Lessons from the June 4, 1979 Uprising" with a renewed focus on strengthening state institutions and promoting accountable governance. The NDC Chief Scribe said the annual commemoration is dedicated to reflection, remembrance, recommitment and renewal of the ideals that shaped the party's political tradition.

The observance officially began on May 15, 2026, a date described as historically significant in Ghana's political evolution, leading to the formation of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and eventually the NDC. The June 4 Uprising symbolised the demand for accountability, discipline, integrity and social justice in governance, values that remain relevant in contemporary Ghanaian politics. The NDC General Secretary said the government's ongoing Reset Agenda, under President John Dramani Mahama, seeks to rebuild confidence in public institutions, strengthen democratic governance and improve service delivery to ordinary Ghanaians.

Several commemorative and educational activities will take place throughout June across the country with the participation of party members, cadres, traditional leaders, youth groups and civil society organizations. Major events include a public lecture in the Banda Constituency on June 3, a ceremonial flag raising, wreath laying and durbar in the Bono Region on June 4, and the observance of NDC Day on June 10. The party will commemorate Cadres Day in Kumasi on June 19 and mark Founder's Day on June 22 with activities including the naming of the party's headquarters after former President Rawlings and the unveiling of his bust.
