A river that forgets its source will soon dry up. As the National Democratic Congress (NDC) seeks a new leader for the 2028 general election, it is essential to remember the party’s foundational ethos—unity, service, and progress.
When the winds of change blow, some build walls, while others build windmills. As Ghana’s political landscape prepares for a new chapter, the NDC stands seeks a leader who can harness the winds of change to propel the party to victory.

While the credibility of Global InfoAnalytics is not in question, conducting surveys before candidates officially declare their intentions can be problematic. Premature surveys can breed division within the party and raise false hopes among aspirants. Waiting until candidates declare their intention to run can provide more meaningful insights into public opinion and shape the narrative around the candidates.

As the political tides begin to shift and the party gears up for primaries, it is imperative for the NDC to consider a candidate who resonates deeply with the party’s root. In this regard, Johnson Kwadwo Asiedu Nketiah embodies the hope and vision that Ghanaians deserve in their next leader.

With his impressive track record, unwavering commitment to the party’s ideals, and deep connection with the grassroots, Asiedu Nketiah is well-positioned to lead the NDC to victory and potentially become the next President of Ghana.

Asiedu Nketiah’s political career spans over three decades, with notable achievements in various capacities. As a Member of Parliament for Wenchi West, he served in several committees, including the Appointments Committee, Finance Committee, and Public Accounts Committee. His tenure as Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture (Crops) from 1997 to 2001 demonstrated his ability to deliver results and make meaningful contributions to the country’s development.

As the General Secretary of the NDC, Asiedu Nketiah has been instrumental in shaping the party’s fortunes. His election to the position in 2005 with almost 80% of the votes and his subsequent re-election in 2010 with 93% of the votes speak to his leadership abilities and the trust the party has in him. Under his stewardship, the NDC has maintained a strong grassroots presence, and his ability to connect with the party’s base has been unparalleled.

One of Asiedu Nketiah’s greatest strengths is his deep understanding of the grassroots. He is a people’s person, and his commitment to their welfare is unwavering. His nickname, “General Mosquito,” is a testament to his ability to navigate the complexities of Ghanaian politics and mobilise support from the grassroots. The opposition’s fear of his presence is a clear indication of his powerful nature and the impact he can have on the political landscape.

Asiedu Nketiah is known for his forthrightness and willingness to speak truth to power. He is not afraid to take unpopular positions or challenge the status quo, a quality that is essential for a leader who wants to bring about meaningful change. His commitment to principle and his refusal to be swayed by personal interests or biases make him an attractive candidate for those seeking a leader who will prioritise the needs of the people.

Asiedu Nketiah’s experience, persistence, and hard work makes him an ideal candidate to lead Ghana to greater heights. His understanding of the country’s challenges and opportunities, coupled with his commitment to the NDC’s ideals, positions him to develop and implement policies that will drive economic growth, improve living standards, and promote social justice.

While Hon. Haruna Iddrisu is also a formidable candidate, it would be wise for him to consider supporting Asiedu Nketiah’s bid for the presidency. By doing so, he can leverage Asiedu Nketiah’s grassroots support and experience to build a stronger, more united party. After the General’s tenure, Haruna Iddrisu can then step in and build on the foundation laid by the General, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of the party’s ideals.

As the dawn breaks, casting light across the political landscape, it is clear that a wise farmer knows when to sow seeds for a fruitful harvest. Johnson Kwadwo Asiedu Nketiah, with his grassroots connection and principled approach, is poised to cultivate unity, service, and progress for the NDC, nurturing a bountiful future for all Ghanaians.

The NDC’s strong leadership team and commitment to its ideals are poised for significant gains in the next election. Asiedu Nketiah’s leadership abilities and grassroots connection makes him a strong contender for the presidency. If President Mahama and his appointees continue to deliver results, Ghanaians will trust them for another term. The NDC’s momentum is likely to shape Ghana’s future.
