NDC @ 32: Returning to Our Roots, Honoring Our Legacy, and Marching Towards Victory
Today, June 10, marks 32 years since the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was born. As well celebrate this milestone, we reflect on our journey, our achievements, and our challenges. We pay tribute to our founder, Jerry John Rawlings, and all past executives, men, and women who have toiled to build our great party.
The NDC was founded on the principles of social democracy, equality, justice, and grassroots participation. Our founder, Jerry John Rawlings, envisioned a party that would empower the marginalized, promote national development, and foster unity. Over the years, we have made significant contributions to Ghana's growth, but we have also drifted from our core ideals.
As we mark this anniversary, we are reminded that our party's revival lies in returning to our roots. We must rekindle the passion, the commitment, and the sense of purpose that drove our founders. We must recommit to the values of social democracy, inclusivity, and grassroots engagement.
We honor the memory of Jerry John Rawlings, our founder, and his unwavering dedication to our party and nation. We remember his courage, his vision, and his unrelenting pursuit of justice and equality. We pay tribute to past executives, men, and women who have worked tirelessly to build our party.
As we look towards the 2024 elections, we are reminded that hard work, unity, and a return to our core values are essential to our victory. We must work tirelessly to rebuild our party, to reconnect with our grassroots, and to promote our vision for Ghana's future.
Let us celebrate our 32nd anniversary with a renewed sense of purpose, a recommitment to our ideals, and a determination to honor our founder's legacy. Let us work together to build a stronger, more united NDC, capable of delivering victory in 2024 and beyond.
Long live the NDC!
Long live Ghana!
