NDC targets victory in Northern Region 

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is targeting a sweeping victory in the Northern Region in the December 7 general election.

Leading party officials, including the Northern Regional Chairman, Ali Adolf, have been rallying support across the region, urging the grassroots to reject the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Their argument is that the NPP has failed to deliver on key promises. 

The NDC claims that the government’s economic policies have left many citizens struggling with rising inflation, unemployment, and declining living standards.

Addressing party supporters at the inauguration of a group in the NDC called, Nkpakpando Democratic Alliance Network (KDYAN) in the Mion Constituency, he stressed that the NPP's handling of the economy has been disastrous, and the people, particularly in the northern parts of the country, deserve better leadership. 

“Dr. Bawumia made numerous promises before the 2016 elections, yet Ghanaians have not seen any of those promises fulfilled. It’s time for us to reject the NPP and vote for the NDC, led by John Dramani Mahama, to restore economic stability,” he said.

The NDC has positioned its campaign around addressing what they describe as economic mismanagement under the NPP government. 

They have pointed to the depreciation of the cedi, high unemployment rates, and rising cost of living as evidence of the current administration's failure. 

In response, the NDC has promised to prioritise job creation, strengthen agriculture, and improve infrastructure to bring relief to Ghanaians.
Adolf noted that the NDC's message of hope resonates strongly with the youth, many of whom he said are frustrated by the lack of job opportunities under the current government. 

“We have seen the impact of the NPP’s failed policies—joblessness, hardship, and a crippled economy. But we believe that the return of John Mahama will bring jobs, good governance, and a stable economy for all,” Adolf added.
