NDC will win landslide victories in December 7 polls - Ablakwa projects".
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, recently addressed a rally in Mepe, Volta Region, making bold predictions for the December 7 elections.
The Confidence of NDC in the 2024 Election
Ablakwa projects a "landslide victory" for both presidential and parliamentary seats in North Tongu, aiming for 94% of votes, up from the 89.7% win he achieved in 2020. He attributes this potential success to his track record and the broader NDC’s policy promises.

Community Stewardship as a Foundation for Success
Ablakwa’s influence in North Tongu is tied to community-focused initiatives over the last four years. By actively addressing local needs in health, education, and infrastructure, he argues that the NDC’s local work will translate to significant voter loyalty. This approach is grounded in accountability and practical achievements that resonate with the electorate.
Health and Education at the Core of NDC’s Campaign
The rally featured a “Victory Walk” and outreach programs, including medical services and door-to-door campaigns, showcasing the NDC’s investment in local well-being. Ablakwa’s emphasis on health and education aligns with the NDC’s broader promise to abolish restrictive licensing for teachers, an issue affecting many in Ghana.
NDC’s 24-Hour Economy and Job Creation Plan
At the rally, Ablakwa emphasized the NDC’s 24-hour economy policy, promising to create jobs, particularly for youth, by revitalizing local industries like the Juapong Textile Factory and Aveyime Rice Factory. This policy is in line with NDC’s long-standing focus on economic transformation through job creation and industrialization, aiming to address Ghana’s high unemployment rate.
Flood Compensation and NDC’s Social Responsibility
Ablakwa pledged full compensation for victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage, which displaced many residents. His commitment reflects the NDC’s stance on social responsibility, as the party criticizes the current government’s response to national disasters, emphasizing that victims deserve tangible support to rebuild.
Unprecedented Infrastructure Efforts in North Tongu
Since 2020, Ablakwa claims to have championed “unprecedented interventions” in local infrastructure, which includes partnerships with international investors. This progress serves as part of his campaign narrative, framing the NDC as a party capable of sustainable development.
NDC’s Critique of Current Governance and the 2024 Vision
The NDC’s stance is critical of the current government’s economic policies, labeling recent tax reforms as draconian. Ablakwa and other NDC leaders emphasize tax reforms to ease the burden on citizens, particularly lower-income groups, proposing an economic shift that prioritizes growth and reduces public sector debt.
NDC’s Historical Economic Contributions
NDC leaders frequently highlight the economic stability achieved during Mahama’s administration. They argue that Mahama’s leadership yielded steady inflation and GDP growth, especially during his tenure as head of the Economic Management Team, contrasting this with what they view as economic missteps by the current administration.
Youth and Employment Policy Under NDC’s 24-Hour Economy
The NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy emphasizes job opportunities for youth, aligning with the party’s vision for inclusive economic growth. By revamping industrial sectors and targeting youth employment, the NDC aims to address the high unemployment rate and offer structured career paths for young people.
Collaborative International Efforts in North Tongu
Ablakwa has been instrumental in establishing partnerships with embassies to draw investment into local industries, hoping to boost North Tongu’s economy. His plans to engage investors reflect a broader NDC goal to encourage foreign investment in Ghana, particularly in underserved regions.
Rural Development and Infrastructure Goals
Under the NDC manifesto, rural development remains a priority, with planned investments in agriculture, infrastructure, and education. These policies are designed to bridge urban-rural divides, improve living conditions in rural areas, and build a foundation for sustainable development.
Social Safety Nets for Disaster-Affected Constituents
Ablakwa’s commitment to compensating flood victims highlights the NDC’s advocacy for social safety nets, addressing immediate needs in disaster response. This approach marks a distinct stance from current policies, offering relief as a means of promoting long-term resilience in communities impacted by environmental challenges.
