According to the constituents, their constituency played a crucial role in securing a major electoral victory for the party, yet their MP has been overlooked for a ministerial position.
Chanting slogans and holding placards, some party members expressed frustration over what they describe as continuous neglect by the government despite their unwavering support. They questioned whether their value to the party is only recognized during elections and demonstrations but not when it comes to leadership opportunities. Many believe that Ashaiman, as one of the NDC’s strongholds, deserves fair representation in the new administration.
The growing discontent has sparked discussions within the party, with some urging President Mahama to reconsider and acknowledge the constituency’s contribution. While party executives have yet to officially respond to the concerns, political analysts believe this issue could test internal unity within the NDC as expectations remain high among loyal supporters.
