An Executive Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nandom Constituency, Emmanuel Soglizu, has urged party members to protect the unity of the party as branch executive elections begin across the constituency.
In a statement released on Friday, Soglizu appealed to aspirants, delegates and grassroots supporters to conduct themselves peacefully and avoid actions that could create division within the party.
“These elections must not divide us. They must strengthen our unity, renew our energy and deepen our commitment to the ideals of social justice, inclusiveness and grassroots empowerment,” he said.
The branch elections form part of the NDC’s nationwide internal reorganisation ahead of future political contests, with party members expected to elect executives at the branch level.
Soglizu described the NDC as a party built on the sacrifices and loyalty of ordinary grassroots supporters, saying the strength of the party continues to rest in communities and electoral areas across the constituency.
“The soul of our party lies with the hardworking men and women who continue to defend the umbrella in every community, village and electoral area,” he stated.
He also cautioned contestants against turning the elections into personal battles, insisting leadership within the NDC should be anchored on service and sacrifice rather than self-interest.
“Leadership within the NDC is not about personal glorification. It is about service, humility, sacrifice and dedication to the collective progress of the party,” Soglizu stressed.
The UBIDS law lecturer further called on delegates to elect leaders capable of strengthening the party at the grassroots.
“Let us choose leaders who are accessible, hardworking, respectful, unifying and committed to the growth of the party,” he urged.
Soglizu also appealed to supporters of various aspirants to avoid insults, misinformation and tension during the election period.
“Our strength has always been in our unity, solidarity and discipline as a party. Elections will come and go, but the NDC remains our common political home,” he added.
He encouraged members to rally behind the constituency leadership and Member of Parliament for Nandom, Richard Kuuire, after the elections.
According to him, the people of Nandom continue to look to the NDC for “leadership, development and hope,” making it necessary for party members to demonstrate political maturity throughout the process.
