Johnson Asiedu Nketia, secretary general of the Democratic National Congress (NDC), has predicted that the party would win the presidential election by 57% on December 7.

Mr. Asiedu Nketiah stated this in a speech read on his behalf by Mr. Sylvester Mensah, a prominent member of the NDC, during the opening of the Cadres and NDC Activists Conference in Tamale on Saturday.

The one-day conference, organized with the support of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, a German organization, and attended by NDC Cadres from the five northern regions, was to take stock of the national democratic revolution thus far and to devise strategies for the way forward for the game’s victory in December.

It was on the theme: “Building the ideological capacity of cadres for progressive politics in Ghana.”

NDC flag bearer John Mahama, whose message was delivered by Alhaji Hudu Yahaya, a prominent NDC member, said a lot of work needed to be done at the grassroots level, and called on the NDC cadres to use their influence to carry out polls vote for the party at the lower level.
