Huudu Yahaya will rebrand NDC — Dr Zakaria

Dr Mawil Zakaria, the Campaign Director of Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, an aspiring National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), says the election of Alhaji Yahaya would facilitate the rebranding of the party for it to become more attractive.

He said when elected, the first former General Secretary of NDC would have ample time to respond to the social needs of the party supporters towards victory in 2016.

Dr Zakaria made this known to the press after Alhaji Yahaya had addressed NDC delegates from five constituencies of the party at Agona Swedru.

The constituencies were Gomoa West, Agona West, Agona East, Gomoa Central, and Awutu Senya East.

Dr Zakaria said the former General Secretary had the qualities to move the party from better to best and also help address the financial challenges currently facing the supporters.

The campaign director said the election of Alhaji Yahaya would “add  a fresh mind to the executive body to battle the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 election.”

Dr Zakaria said the Campaign Team and Alhaji Yahaya were not underrating the current national executive members who won the 2008 and 2012 elections.

He said, however, that new people were now needed to further build a formidable party.

He said when given the nod, Alhaji Yahaya would strengthen the grass-roots structures to help the party to win massively to continue the better Ghana Agenda of the party.

Dr Zakaria urged the NDC supporters to unite and work as a team after the national congress to help push the party forward.

According to him, Alhaji Yahaya is a visionary leader and had the capability to lead the NDC when elected as its national Chairman.

Dr Zakaria said Alhaji Yahaya, as the Chairman of the Conflict Resolution committee of the NDC, had a track record that would help him to manage the party effectively. — GNA
