A former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, has called on Ghanaians to register and join the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the party’s membership registration exercise.
In a statement signed and released on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, Dr. Duffour said registering with the party enables an individual to be a major stakeholder in the affairs of the party.
“When people register to become active members of the party, it is an opportunity to rise through the party ranks and get groomed for political leadership in the present-future”
“Active members also have a stake in the grassroots decision-making process of the party. Most importantly, you get to choose the leaders of the party at branch, constituency, regional and national levels” he said.
He made the call ahead of the opposition party’s internal elections scheduled for June 2022.
Explaining that, as a registered, proud, and official member of Ghana’s biggest and most progressive people-centered political party, “you get to submit your policy proposals and ideas for the appropriation of the party’s policy documents.”
The one-time governor of the Bank of Ghana also noted that once one becomes an active member at the branch level it gives the person the privilege of forming a bold association with the party.
He further encouraged all and sundry to “become an active member” than just being a “mere sympathizer.”
According to Dr. Kwabena Duffour, most Ghanaians are very sympathetic to the NDC thus the task of organizing to win power and rescue Ghana from the “torturing policies of the ruling NPP” requires all sympathizers.
