He added that all the newly elected executives of the NDC have a track record of delivering victory for the NDC.

“If you look at the candidates that have emerged, I can imagine how terrified our major opponents are. The NPP must be really terrified, they must be scared to death, looking at the calibre of the candidates who have emerged.

“Take the pedigree, there is nobody in party organisation at this moment in this country who can compare to Asiedu Nketiah – 17 years of being general secretary, the most decorated general secretary in Ghana.

“Asiedu Nketiah is going to be the national chairman; our General Secretary (is) Fifi Kwetey, Yamin for Organiser, you have Shirley Ayitey, Azorka and the others in the mix - a very, very credible term. A team with depth, with intellectual fire power, a team that has a track record,” he told GhanaWeb’s George Ayisi.

He added that the newly elected executives have brought some renewed energy to the rank and file of the NDC.

The MP also said that the party is going to work with all of its members including those who lost the national elections to ensure that it wins the 2024 elections.
