Wonder Victor Kutor, a contender for the position of Deputy National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has unveiled what he describes as a “Five-Star Approach” to party communication following his vetting.
Speaking to journalists after the exercise, Kutor expressed satisfaction with the vetting process, describing it as fair and transparent. He disclosed that he had selected number five, which he considers spiritually significant.
According to him, the number five represents a divine direction for his political journey and the communication vision he intends to introduce to the party.
“I picked five star. For me, spiritually, this was the number God has ordained,” he said.
Explaining the significance of his choice, Kutor said the NDC needed a new level of strategic communication and experienced communicators capable of effectively responding to the political opposition, particularly the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He stressed that the party must not become complacent, insisting that the NPP would intensify its political communication efforts and that the NDC needed equally strong communicators to match the challenge.
“We are bringing the five-star approach to NDC communication. As we are facing the NPP, we need the five-star generals to match the NPP,” he stated.
Experience and maturity at the centre of his ambition
Making a case for his suitability for the position, Kutor pointed to his political experience, which he said spans the branch, constituency and national levels of the party.
He identified himself as a member of the NDC National Executive Committee (NEC) and the party’s National Communication Team, arguing that his experience gives him a deeper understanding of the party’s communication needs.
He further emphasised the importance of maturity in political communication, particularly when a party is in government.
According to him, communication in government requires a different approach from communication in opposition, making experience, discipline and strategic thinking essential qualities for anyone occupying a leadership position in the party’s communication machinery.
“I always say that communication in government is different from communication in opposition. You need some maturity,” he stressed.
Confident of victory ahead of December 19
Kutor also expressed strong confidence in his chances of emerging victorious in the upcoming NDC National Delegates Congress scheduled for December 19, 2026.
He assured party supporters that his campaign would be driven by results rather than unnecessary noise, predicting that the outcome of the election would vindicate his confidence.
“Today is just 37 days more to the election. I assure you, when the ballots are counted, you will see that the five-star general will emerge victorious,” he declared.
He concluded by reaffirming his commitment to helping the NDC strengthen its communication machinery and secure victory in the 2028 general elections.
His proposed Five-Star Approach, he says, will provide the strategic direction and experienced leadership needed to position the party’s communication team for the political battles ahead.
