Reasons Why I Think Moro Kabore Is The Best Bet For The Ashanti Regional NPP Deputy Secretary Position

I'm not from the Ashanti Region and I might not be privy to so many developments and dynamics as far as NPP politics in Ashanti Region is concerned. I was however highly elated when Moro Kabore, a party communicator and a former polling station executive declared his intention to contest for the Deputy Secretary position in the Ashanti Region. He was also a former student leader in KNUST.

That's where I knew him and that's where I developed belief in him. Some of the reasons that makes me think he's the best bet for the job are:

1. AUTHENTICITY
Moro Kabore is an authentic leader, he doesn't pretend and he doesn't betray. In this era when party grassroots felt abandoned after campaigning for the party, authentic people like Moro Kabore (MK) are needed to be the voice of the grassroots and also champion their cause. It’s true that imitation is one of the greatest forms of flattery, but not when it comes to leadership. Every great leader must learn to lead from a place of authenticity. Moro Kabore has an appetite of learning from others, reading autobiographies of great leaders and picking up skills along the way. That notwithstanding, MK has never lost his authentic voice, opinions and, ultimately, how he makes decision.

2. OPEN-MINDEDNESS
Moro Kabore is an open-minded person. He opens himself up to everyone, big or small, rich or poor, a power holder or a grassroot member. He listens and acts on sound advice given to him by others. He has a very open mind whilst at the same time being very flexible. When there are changes in some developments and he needs to adjust himself, he does so with ease. He always works strenuously to committing himself to investing, developing and maintaining great relationships.

3. DECISIVENESS
Just as Moro Kabore is open-minded,he is equally decisive. When he makes a bold decision, he sticks to it. He consults broadly before making a decision and once the decision is made, he holds on to it tightly.

4. EMPOWERMENT
The NPP is in government now and we need leaders that will connect the concerns of the grassroots to the government appointees. With MK, party members will have a strong and solid ally who will push their job-searching agenda forward. He is the type that loves to delegate responsibility to people who have the correct skills and strength. Even though he knows that it's sometimes difficult to delegate responsibility due to the desire to do the job yourself, MK always ensures that he selects the best and give them the needed support to execute the task in whatever job he might have given them.

5. PERSISTENCE
A great leader said that, ‘persistence beats resistance.’ This is true to the sense that all great things take time, and MK always ensures that he persist no matter what. This always happen when he is fighting for a good cause, lobbying for a project or pushing to get support or help for someone. That’s what it takes to be a leader. Moro Kabore has willingness, desire and ability to push ahead with his goals and targets when others have stopped along the way.

These are few things I know about MK. Ashanti Region is the stronghold and heartbeat of the NPP and getting strong, committed patriots with a good connection and humanitarian touch to man the activities of the NPP there should be the interest of every party member in Ghana. It is based on this I give my wholehearted support to a strong party member,Moro Kabore. May God be with Moro Kabore and his Team, Moro Kabore for Ashanti Regional Deputy General Secretary.
