Winneba (C/R), Oct 30, GNA-Mr Clarence Nii Ayitey, the Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Effutu Constituency, has called on all members of the party to put aside their grievances, unite and work together to win back the parliamentary seat in Election 2028.
According to him, originally the Effutu seat was for the NDC, but the party lost many of their members over the years, and it was time all those members were brought back for them work together to win more members to join the crusade of taking back the seat from the NPP.
“Winning elections are by numbers, and we need to continue to be courageous and loyal to the umbrella because NDC remains our shared family,” Mr Nii Ayitey said.
Mr Nii Ayitey, who is an entrepreneur and a businessman made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Winneba, where he thanked the delegates for the honour done him, assuring them that, he would not abuse the trust reposed in him.
He said he decided to join the race because there were some challenges within the leadership and the grassroots and was therefore supporting from outside, but it was not making the desired impact.
“So, this time round I am on board to help effect some changes to lift up the NDC party in the Effutu Constituency.”
Mr Ayitey said there was the need to work with the grassroots who felt neglected now that their party was in power.
“Now, my agenda is that together with the entire executives I will ensure that even the little that comes goes down to the people,” he assured.
The Vice Chairman stated that there were no better adverts than improving the livelihoods of the people at the grassroots for their lives to be transformed to attract others to join.
He added: “I want the grassroots to know that their soldier is here, the commander is here, I am here for you and will work harder with my Chairman and all the executive to ensure that whatever government has for you gets to you.
“I pray that we will get the wisdom and the clarity of thoughts to navigate these treacherous waters, however, I appreciate the contest that we went through, the good and bad have prepared us for the battles ahead.” he added.
