NDC’s Yamin declares near-certain victory, urges vigilance against intimidation.
Joseph Yamin, the National Organizer of Ghana’s National Democratic Congress (NDC), has confidently asserted the party’s complete readiness for the upcoming elections, boldly claiming a 99.7% likelihood of victory. In an interview with Joy News at the NDC’s final campaign rally held at Zurak Park in Madina, Accra, Yamin underscored the party’s meticulous preparations, which commenced over a month prior to the election. He emphasized the NDC’s long-standing organizational structure, stating that they have been strategically prepared and patiently awaiting this pivotal moment.
Yamin explained that the choice of Zurak Park, rather than a larger venue like a stadium, was a necessary compromise due to perceived government control over resources and the subsequent unavailability of more expansive spaces. He framed this final rally as the culmination of their campaign efforts, declaring it to be their last before focusing on preparations for assuming power. Yamin expressed considerable pride in the NDC’s ability to generate and sustain considerable enthusiasm among its supporters. He highlighted that they have effectively channeled this energy, positioning their supporters as determined and ready to actively defend the NDC’s electoral prospects on election day.
Beyond expressing confidence in their mobilization efforts, Yamin stressed the crucial need for vigilance. He urged both party members and the broader citizenry to remain alert to any instances of intimidation or attempts to undermine the electoral process. This emphasis on vigilance, according to Yamin, demonstrates the NDC’s preparedness to overcome any obstacles or challenges that may arise during the election.
Furthermore, Yamin issued a firm call for peace and non-violence, urging Ghanaians to unequivocally reject any attempts to incite or engage in violence. He emphasized a commitment to peaceful resistance against any acts of violence, issuing a strong warning that those who seek to disrupt the electoral process through violence should anticipate a resolute response from NDC supporters. In essence, Yamin’s message conveyed a combination of unwavering confidence in electoral victory, a pledge to peaceful engagement, and a determination to counteract any attempts to undermine the democratic process.
