George Nash, a political communicator and member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Team, has stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lost its values and significance in Ghana’s democratic landscape.
Speaking on Adekyee Mu Nsem, the morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM, hosted by Citizen Kofi Owusu in Accra, Nash argued that the NPP no longer demonstrates constructive engagement on national issues. According to him, the party’s communication system lacks meaningful discussion and effective responses to matters of national importance.
He praised the leadership of the current President under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), saying it has brought renewed energy, fresh perspectives, and a stronger commitment to Ghana’s development.
Nash, who is aspiring to become the Communications Officer for the NDC in the Madina Constituency, noted that the President has placed the country on the right path. He called on government appointees to remain committed to serving the interests of both the government and the people. He also urged them to work together in unity, demonstrate mutual respect, and uphold the principles of probity, accountability, and national development.
He further emphasized that political power is temporary and can change hands at any time. For this reason, he advised all government appointees to be disciplined, responsible, and dedicated to their duties while prioritizing the welfare of the party, particularly the grassroots supporters who worked tirelessly to secure the NDC’s return to power.
According to Nash, government appointees should pay greater attention to party supporters who seek assistance. He stressed that such support should be provided in a fair, respectful, and inclusive manner, fostering a sense of belonging among party members and strengthening the party’s grassroots base.
Touching on the Constitutional Review Commission’s recommendations, Nash expressed support for extending the presidential term from four years to five years. He argued that a five-year term would provide an incoming government with sufficient time to settle into office, implement its policies effectively, and ensure a smoother transition of governance from one administration to another.
