The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo, has assured Ghanaians of the party’s readiness to win power through every legal means in the December elections.
Opare Addo says the NDC youth wing will do all it takes to protect the ballots come December, to ensure John Mahama emerges victorious.
Touting the NDC as the midwives of Ghana’s democracy, the Youth Organiser noted that the December polls is going to be a revolution devoid of guns.
Speaking at the launch of the NDC’s Youth Manifesto at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, Monday, August 12, 2024, Opare Addo, stated the December elections is going to be a revolution of minds.
“The NDC youth wing and the youth of Ghana shall win you power come 7th December 2024” he told John Mahama at the UPSA auditorium, adding that “this election is about revolution without a gun. It’s a revolution of minds and wits and we will make sure that that ballot box is protected.”
Despite stating that the NDC is law abiding, Opare Addo also indicated that the NDC will not go the polls empty handed if its opponents come to the election grounds armed.
He reiterated that nobody would become a victim of peace, expressing his outfit’s readiness to negotiate peace if that’s what all the parties want.
“The NDC is law abiding. The NDC will do everything because we are the midwives of Ghana’s democracy. We will do everything to protect the democracy. We shall not become the victims of peace. If anybody wants peace, let us all sit and negotiate peace.
“If you draw your dagger, we’ll draw our dagger. We will do everything as legal and law abiding citizens. We shall not foment trouble anywhere. But the election of 2020, Techiman South will not repeat itself. We shall take power and I repeat, we shall take power come what may, through every legal means on the 7th of December,” he told a gathering of party youth with the flag bearer and his mate present, as well as other party executives.
