The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Finland Branch extends its heartfelt congratulations to President-elect John Dramani Mahama and Vice President-elect Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang on their historic victory in the 2024 Ghanaian general elections. This triumph signifies the profound trust and confidence the Ghanaian people have placed in their leadership, their visionary outlook, and their unwavering commitment to the nation’s progress. The NDC Finland Branch recognizes Mahama’s leadership as one characterized by inclusivity, progress, and hope, fostering an environment where all Ghanaians have the opportunity to thrive and prosper under his guidance. The branch expresses optimism that Ghana’s future is bright under this renewed leadership.
The election of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as the first female Vice President-elect of Ghana marks a pivotal moment in the nation’s history. Her achievement is not only a personal triumph but also a resounding victory for women in leadership and a significant stride towards gender equality. Opoku-Agyemang’s ascension to this high office signifies a promising future where women’s voices are increasingly heard and valued at the highest levels of decision-making, paving the way for greater female representation and influence in Ghanaian politics.
The NDC Finland Branch also commends all parliamentary candidates who contributed to the party’s securing an absolute majority in parliament, both those who retained their seats and those who flipped seats previously held by the opposition. This victory is attributed to the combined forces of divine intervention and the tireless efforts of the candidates and the party machinery. The absolute majority holds significant implications for the incoming NDC government, providing the necessary legislative strength to effectively implement their agenda to “reset Ghana” and deliver on their promises to the electorate.
The NDC Finland Branch reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the newly elected government, pledging to contribute meaningfully to the strengthening of Ghana’s democratic institutions, economic stability, and social development. As members of the NDC diaspora, they acknowledge their role in supporting the nation’s progress from abroad and commit to actively participating in initiatives that advance Ghana’s national interests. This commitment encompasses financial contributions, advocacy efforts, and sharing expertise to bolster the government’s efforts in various sectors.
The NDC Finland Branch’s congratulatory message encapsulates the high hopes and expectations placed on the incoming Mahama-Opoku-Agyemang administration. The branch views this victory as a mandate for positive change and transformative leadership, emphasizing the importance of inclusive governance, economic prosperity, and social progress. Their acknowledgement of Opoku-Agyemang’s historic achievement underscores the party’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Furthermore, the branch’s pledge of solidarity and support from the diaspora highlights the global reach and interconnectedness of the NDC community. The commitment to contributing to Ghana’s development from abroad signifies the importance of diaspora engagement in nation-building. The message, signed by Issah Alhassan, Secretary of the NDC Finland Branch, represents the collective voice of the branch members and their shared vision for a prosperous future for Ghana under the leadership of the newly elected government. It echoes the optimism and anticipation felt within the NDC community both at home and abroad for a successful tenure marked by progress and positive change for all Ghanaians.
