A full timetable detailing the key activities and deadlines for the primaries has been attached to the official notice, and aspirants are expected to strictly follow the schedule without exception.
Mr. Kwetey urged all party members, particularly aspirants and their supporters, to conduct themselves with decorum and in accordance with the NDC’s longstanding tradition of internal democracy. He warned that the party would not tolerate any actions that threaten to disrupt the process or compromise its credibility.
“The success of our primaries in Akwatia depends on our collective commitment to unity, transparency, and respect for the rules,” Mr. Kwetey stated. “This is not merely a contest of personalities, but a reaffirmation of our values as a party.”
