Some chiefs and queen mothers in the Assin South Constituency in the Central Region have declared their support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming December 7th General Elections.

The chiefs, including the Chief of Assin Darmang and the Krontihene of Assin Engresi, all took turns to endorse the NDC when the running mate of the party, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, attended a community durbar at Assin Engresi on Tuesday as part of her three-day campaign tour of the Central Region.

The Krontihene of Assin Engresi, Nana Kwabena Waadie, credited NDC governments for providing them with a hospital, market, and other development projects.

He hoped the NDC would win the 2024 General Elections to continue from where the party left off.

For his part, the Chief of Assin Darmang, Okofo Kwadwo Benti, praised Prof. Opoku-Agyemang for being a mother and a scholar who would give the flag bearer of the NDC, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, the needed support to take Ghana to the promised land.

He declared his steadfast support for Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, saying women are good managers of the home and it was a good decision that the NDC flag bearer chose the distinguished professor as his running mate.

The NDC running mate, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, commended the chiefs and queen mothers for their support and gave the assurance that the NDC will continue to prioritize the development of the area.

She said the next NDC administration will also prioritize job creation through the 24-hour economy and the National Apprenticeship Programme, as well as undertake massive development in infrastructure through the Big Push.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang therefore urged the electorate to vote for change by voting for Mr. John Dramani Mahama to make Ghana a better place for all Ghanaians.
