NDC Presidential and Parliamentary Primaries: Key Issues Dominating Delegates’ Thoughts

As the National Democratic Congress (NDC) prepares for its presidential and parliamentary primaries on Saturday, the focus of the political discourse has shifted to the key issues that will influence the decision of delegates in electing the party’s candidates. In this article, we highlight some of the significant issues that are likely to dominate the thoughts of delegates.

For the most part, the main concern of delegates will be the candidates’ chances of winning the general election in 2024. Delegates will be evaluating the candidates’ ability to raise enough funds for campaigning, as this will play a critical role in increasing the party’s votes in the general election. The ability to mobilize enough resources could result in having a good campaign team – a factor that can influence the decision of the delegates.

Another key issue that will inform the decision of delegates is the 2024 contest. Delegates will want to pick candidates that match the strengths of the opposing sides. As such, candidates who are capable of bringing the party to power will be of great interest to the delegates.

In summary, the delegates’ decision will be based on messages that border on party reconstruction and growth, the local economy, and job creation. Aspirants with clear-cut policy directions and good communication strategies are likely to carry the day.

For parliamentary aspirants, the delegates will be interested in individuals with the capacity to serve as a Minister of State. Politics is about power and money, and the interest of the delegates will be on the aspirant who is capable of bringing the party to power.

The NDC is a social democratic party with a revolutionary past, and millions of supporters are still holding strong attachments to those principles. As such, the delegates will be interested in voting for an aspirant who is deep-rooted in the social democratic principles and ready to champion them.

The ability of the aspirant to lead the party is another significant consideration. The delegates would want to elect a leader who can command respect and provide leadership.

Finally, for the parliamentary primaries, the delegates would expect that whoever is elected would use his or her political influence to lobby the government, local, and international investors to bring development to the constituencies.

In conclusion, delegates play a crucial role in the democratic process, and the quality of governance and the aspirations of the population are impacted by their choices. It is expected that delegates of all political parties will be conscious of their responsibility to the state and make informed decisions. We wish the NDC well as they go through the primaries successfully.
