The Member of Parliament (MP) for Jomoro and Deputy Minister for Transport, Dorcas Afo-Toffey, has charged delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Western Region to elect leaders based on competence and proven results.
Speaking while monitoring the party’s ongoing Western Regional election in Ellembelle, Madam Afo-Toffey said delegates must look beyond personal interest and internal camps and vote for people who can work and move the party forward.
She said the choice delegates make will determine how strong the party remains in the region, and therefore they must vote with the future of the NDC in mind.
Madam Afo-Toffey also warned against allowing disagreements during the election to turn into lasting divisions. According to her, contests should strengthen the party, not break it apart.
She urged members to accept the outcome in good faith, close ranks after the polls, and rally behind whoever emerges as leader.
She added that every member has a part to play in keeping the election peaceful and credible, and that unity after the vote is more important than individual ambition.
Her comments come as party stakeholders continue to call for transparent and violence-free internal elections across the country.
