The Volta Regional Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kafui Sorkpa Agbleze, has reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining its stronghold in the Volta Region, traditionally known as the NDC’s “World Bank.”
Recent voting patterns suggest that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is gradually gaining influence.
At a press conference in Ho on Wednesday, October 30, NPP Communications Director Richard Ahiagba expressed optimism, setting an ambitious target of 500,000 votes in the December elections.
He cited the NPP’s steady increase in regional support—from 10.81% of total votes in 2016 to 14.14% in 2020—as evidence of this progress.
However, Mr Agbleze has dismissed the NPP’s goal as unrealistic, pledging that the NDC will not concede its stronghold.
“We are unwavering in our commitment to protect the Volta Region’s loyalty to the NDC. The public should see through the NPP’s empty promises and reject the propaganda they continue to spread,” he stated.
Agbleze further urged the NPP to shift its focus toward national economic recovery rather than raising expectations in the Volta Region.
“The NPP’s projection of securing half the votes here is not only delusional but frankly disrespectful to Voltarians.
“Their history of setting unattainable goals speaks to a pattern of overpromising and underdelivering, which has steadily eroded their credibility nationwide,” he said.
Agbleze called on Voltarians to show their enduring support for the NDC, underscoring that the party remains the region’s and Ghana’s best hope for meaningful change.
With a voter base of 1,023,147 registered individuals in the Volta Region, the NDC believes it can continue its legacy of strong support in the upcoming election.
