Asiedu Nketia, the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has boldly declared that the party can take any seat in the Ashanti Region.
According to Asiedu Nketia, the politics of a stronghold is gradually fading away.
Asiedu Nketia revealed that the NPP in the Ashanti Region succeeded on misinformation, and most of the radio stations that defended the NDC were dealt with.
Speaking in an interview on Ambassador TV, Asiedu Nketia detailed, “A lesson politicians have to learn is that if you are doing something and Ghanaians are silent, it is not because they are afraid of you. They will look at you, but when they get fed up with what you’re doing, they will drag you out”.
“The other lesson that both parties have learned is that the voters are not your sole preserve. The stronghold of politics is gradually fading out. What I saw in the Ashanti region is that the NPP thrived on misinformation, and so most of the radio stations in the region which defended the NDC were dealt with in the region.
All the stations were pushing the NPP agenda. They were using history and misinformation in the Ashanti Region, but this year, we collapsed that, and it did not work for them,” he disclosed while speaking to Ambassador TV.
“We have learnt lessons that seats in the Ashanti region are not the sole preserve of NPP. We now know that we can take any seat in the Ashanti Region,” he said.
Asiedu Nketia further urged the NPP not to change Afenyo-Markin as their leader in Parliament.
According to Asiedu Nketia, Afenyo Markin is making a significant contribution to the NDC’s course for the 2028 election.
He noted that the minority leader’s actions in Parliament and out of Parliament continue to sink the NPP deeper.
Asiedu Nketia added, “I have to commend the NPP for keeping Afenyo Markin as their leader in Parliament. They should not change him because he is making a significant contribution to our course.
He now serves as a campaign manager for the NDC, and his continuous existence in that position will offer the 2028 elections to the NDC on a silver platter,” he added.
In a related story, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah broke his silence on rumoured presidential ambition.
According to him, no serious politician rules out any position.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, Asideu Nketia stated, “No serious politician rules out any position. It’s known that it is ambition that drives politics.
And if you rush to rule things out, you get to a point where you’ll be at a corner where you regret having ruled out certain positions”.
He added, “If I want to demonstrate with my own life. To begin with, I never dreamt of going to Parliament. I was a trained business guy, and I was a marketing manager, bank manager, a stockbroker and so on.
“So, the thought of going to Parliament never crossed my mind at all until pressure began mounting from my own people that you have to do this, you have to represent our community to do this work.
Then you say, okay, let me do it for one year or one term and then go and do something else. Then you do it and everybody says, you have done it so well that without you, we can’t get a good replacement, so continue… I never planned to go to Parliament at all,” he said.
