President John Dramani Mahama says the outcome of the election petition at the Supreme Court will show that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) won “cleanly in free and fair elections.”
He was addressing executives and members of the NDC at the party’s headquarters in Accra on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the formation of the party.
The President who entered the Party headquarters at 17:45 hours was welcomed by NDC stalwarts including Dr Kwabena Adjei, National Chairman and Johnson Asiedu Nketia, General Secretary.
He commended members of the party for their support which ensured the NDC had a resounding victory in the 2012 general elections.
Mr Mahama advised the party supporters not to rest on their oars since the party is preparing the various branches and re-organising its support base for subsequent elections.
“I will encourage you to continue with the good work in the interest of our party,” President Mahama said, noting that a stronger party base would be a contributory factor in the success of the government.
He told the party leadership that he found it necessary to visit the headquarters and to solidarise with the party activists to keep the NDC organised and strong.
NDC Chairman Dr Kwabena Adjei told the President that the executives and supporters appreciated his visit, which he said, would afford them the opportunity to discuss issues concerning the party.
