Frustrated supporters and opinion leaders within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are voicing their discontent over what they perceive as the neglect of dedicated members, particularly Mr Takyi Addo, Head of Communications Abossey okai spare parts Dealers Association, in recent government appointments. These supporters are urging President John Dramani Mahama to prioritize the appointment of Takyi Addo and other individuals they say were instrumental in securing the party’s victory in the 2024 elections.
The aggrieved supporters argue that despite the NDC’s electoral success, many deserving members who tirelessly campaigned for the party’s win have been overlooked. They specifically highlighted the contributions of Mr Takyi Addo expressing disappointment that he has yet to receive an appointment.
“It’s very unfortunate that, the Co-Found Ghana Federation of Traders/ Ghana Auto Dealers Association P.R.O and current Head of Communications Abossey okai spare parts Dealers Association, Mr Takyi Addo who has worked relentlessly to ensure the well-being of the party, has still not been given any appointment,” one supporter stated.
The supporters further criticized the continued presence of members of the ousted New Patriotic Party (NPP) in certain government offices. They argued that these positions should be filled by dedicated members who contributed to the party’s success.
Why can’t our leaders do the same to ensure that the real and hardworking members are given appointments to motivate others in the future?” one supporter questioned.
The supporters emphasized Mr Takyi Addo’s extensive efforts during the campaign, noting that, as a dedicated communication member. They credit his efforts, in part, to the party’s success.
The aggrieved supporters are calling on President Mahama to immediately appoint Mr Takyi Addo and other deserving members took appropriate positions and to replace NPP appointees still occupying positions they “were not supposed to be occupying.”
They issued a warning to the President and his appointment committee, urging them to ensure that deserving members are appointed promptly, stating that failure to do so could have negative consequences.
