Navrongo Central NDC Executives face tough task over Mahama government’s record – NPP Communicator
NPP communicator Francis Xavier Adams questions the Mahama government’s delivery on campaign promises, arguing that unmet commitments on teachers’ allowances, farmers’ concerns and the 24-hour economy could challenge newly elected NDC executives.
A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team in the Navrongo Central Constituency, Francis Xavier Adams says the newly elected executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will face a difficult task convincing residents to support the party in future elections, citing what he describes as the poor performance of the government led by President John Dramani Mahama.
He argued that the government had failed to fulfil some of the major promises it made during the 2024 general election campaign, a situation he believes could undermine the efforts of the newly elected constituency executives.
Speaking on the Big Mike Breakfast Show on Wednesday October 28, Adams said the NDC should look beyond the successful conduct of its constituency elections and focus on the challenges ahead as it prepares for the next general elections.
He said the new executives would struggle to explain the government’s performance to constituents and convince them to retain the party in power.
“The current executives that have been elected, what are they going to campaign on? I really pity them,” he said.
Adams cited what he described as the government’s failure to implement promised allowances for teachers in deprived areas and honour its commitment to pay allowances to all promoted teachers.
He also raised concerns about the challenges farmers face in marketing their produce in the constituency, arguing that the government had not adequately addressed their concerns.
The NPP communicator further questioned the implementation of the proposed 24-hour economy policy, which the NDC campaigned on as a means of creating employment opportunities for young people.
According to Adams, the government’s continued announcement of promises while in office would not be enough to secure public support, insisting that residents would judge the administration by the extent to which it had delivered on its commitments.
While commending the peaceful conduct of the NDC constituency elections, he maintained that the major challenge for the newly elected executives would be communicating the government’s record to residents.
“What are they going to tell the market women to convince them to retain the NDC when their items have not been sold because of a lack of money in the system?” he asked.
Adams insisted that the NPP was not intimidated by the newly elected NDC executives, adding that his party would focus on highlighting what he considers the shortcomings of the current administration.
“We are not going to campaign; it is the reality on the ground that will expose them. They have lost already,” he said.
