We’ll use our Majority status for the progress of Ghana – NDC

General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Fifi Kwetey has said that the party will use its Majority status in the next Parliament to advance the interest of Ghana and its people.

He says they will use it responsibly.

Addressing a press conference on Sunday, December 8, he said “We have secured a very significant majority and a majority that we aim to use responsibly and for the progress of the people of Ghana.

“The process as far as the presidential result is also concerned, we will urge the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa and her team to make sure the declaration is not unduly delayed because we know for a fact that nothing can be done about it because it is already in the bag.”

Regarding the general elections, he said the NDC is committed to ensuring peaceful elections devoid of violence at various collation centres.

This comes shortly after the New Patriotic Party in a press conference accused the NDC supporters of orchestrating violence at collation centres.

According to Fiavi Kwetey, the party is not ready to cause any violence to mar their landslide victory in the elections.

He disclosed that the President elect John Mahama will probably address the nation on Monday, December 9.

The party claimed that although all results are yet to be declared, it has secured 185 seats in Parliament out of the 276 constituencies.

I hear that our friend on the other side made a consolatory note that for the first time a presidential candidate has conceded when he lost, when this Tsunami hits you there’s little you can do, in fact there’s nothing you can do.

The party called on the Electoral Commission to not unduly delay the declaration of the results to allow President elect, John Mahama address the nation as the new President of the country.
