NDC Targets 85% of Volta Region Votes in 2024 Elections

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is aiming to win over 85% of the total votes in the Volta Region in the upcoming general elections in December 2024.

The Volta Regional NDC Vice Chairperson, Egypt Kudeto, who announced this, charged his comrades to form part of the party’s machinery to achieve the target. He was speaking at the 24-hour health walk held in Kpetoe in the Agotime Ziope District in the Volta Region.

Mr. Kudeto urged the party faithful to support the party financially to mobilize logistics to undertake its campaign activities. “We are appealing that you help us financially to fuel our vehicles for campaigns. So on January 7, 2025, people will be transported to Independence Square [for the swearing-in] because John Mahama is winning [the presidential election]. Volta Region, we are giving JM more than 85%-90% [of total votes],” he stated.

The Agotime Ziope Member of Parliament, Charles Agbeve, expressed confidence that the NDC Presidential Candidate would emerge victorious in the presidential elections, with the NDC winning 150 seats in parliament. He highlighted that every single development project in his jurisdiction was undertaken by the NDC and chastised the New Patriotic Party for failing to initiate any project in the area.

John Mahama is in opposition but he made available bulldozers to reshape our roads. If he is not a nation-builder, then what is he? He is constructing roads in opposition, imagine what will happen when he comes to power,” he said.

Mr. Agbeve added that the NPP government decided not to construct the Ho-Denu Road, despite budgeting for it in 2021, because “they say they don't get votes here.
