NDC has elected accomplished propagandists, says Gabby
The main opposition NDC over the weekend elected Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and Fifi Kwetey as chairman and general secretary respectively at its 10th National Delegates Congress
Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a political strategist and prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has elected a solid team of propagandists to lead the party into the 2024 elections.
The NDC over the weekend elected Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and Fifi Kwetey as national chairman and general secretary respectively at the Accra Sports Stadium to steer the affairs of the party for the next four years.
In a tweet on Sunday (18 December), Otchere-Darko congratulated the newly-elected executives, adding that the strategy for 2024 is now set.
“Congratulations to the NDC and their new national officers! Asiedu Nketiah is now the Chairman-General (apologies to Kwami!) What is clear is that Ghana’s opposition party has settled on a solid team of accomplished propagandists in all departments. The strategy for 2024 is set,” Otchere-Darko tweeted.
