The Democratic Youth Congress (DYC) has commended former President John Dramani Mahama for declaring his intention to contest the party’s Presidential primaries to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2020.
According to DYC, the party at the present stage need a leader who is able to offer a credible sense of direction and can make a significant difference in galvanising the rank and file for effective campaign for success.
In a statement issued in Accra and signed by the National Co-ordinator in Charge of Operations of DYC Azumah Musah, the group said former President John Dramani Mahama has been acknowledged by many as the most capable, exceptional and experienced candidate to lead the NDC to victory in the next election.
“We are of the firm conviction that he has the capacity to rally people and mobilize support towards repackaging and repositioning the NDC and for this reason our commitment towards the election of the former President to lead the party to victory is total.” The statement affirmed.
It noted that under the tenure of the former President, Ghana recorded tremendous achievements in all fields. “These achievements are, in no small part, thanks to the exemplary and visionary leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.”
The statement lauded the two former Presidents of the NDC for the show of camaraderie during their meeting before the declaration and urged other aspirants and their supporters to emulate the gleaming example by working together in the spirit of understanding and apply their energies to collaboratively build the party for 2020 victory and beyond.
The Democratic Youth Congress also appealed to Civil Society Organisations, Clergy, other interest groups and Ghanaians in general to hold the current administration to the same standards they applied during former President John Dramani Mahama’s tenure.
“This is a sacred duty that we owe to this great nation.”
The group reassured former President John Dramani Mahama of its active contribution to his determination to lead the party to ensure victory in the internal elections and eventually in the national elections to rescue this nation from super incompetence, deception and corruption of uncommon grade.
