Newly elected Ketu South NDC constituency executive, Edzorna Francis Mensah, has thanked his supporters and pledged to use effective communication, information dissemination and media engagement to strengthen the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Edzorna made the pledge at his Victory Party and thanksgiving celebration at His Office, Adafienu following his election as one of the eight Constituency Executive Members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ketu South.
Addressing supporters and party faithful, he thanked everyone who contributed to his victory and appealed for their continued support as he works to achieve the broader vision of the party.
Mensah Commends Ahorlu, Pledges To Amplify Ketu South’s Voice
Mr. Mensah commended the newly elected Constituency Chairman, Ferguson Ahorlu, for his vision and leadership, noting that the chairman’s campaign message closely reflected his own ideas, even though the two had never discussed their individual campaign agendas.
According to him, the similarity in their visions reaffirmed his belief that delegates made the right choice by electing leaders who share a common direction for the party.
He stressed that he made no extravagant promises during his campaign, but was committed to using his experience in report writing and broadcasting to project the concerns, activities and developmental needs of Ketu South to decision-makers at the higher levels.
He assured residents that every issue requiring attention in the constituency would receive the necessary publicity, so that the voices of the people reach the appropriate authorities.
Cornelius Kunya Outlines Seven-Point Communication Agenda
The Ketu South NDC Communications Officer, Hon. Cornelius Kunya, who was also present, used the occasion to introduce his vision and outline his key priorities for strengthening the party’s communication machinery.
Drawing inspiration from Chairman Ahorlu, Kunya recalled an encounter during the celebration that followed the declaration of the constituency election results.
He explained that while supporters were jubilating — throwing powder on the newly elected executives and even laying their clothes for them to walk on — Hon. Ahorlu whispered to him that the massive celebration came with an even greater responsibility.
According to Kunya, the chairman reminded him that the executives must work harder to justify the excitement and confidence supporters had shown in them.
He further emphasised that the joy of victory would remain incomplete if those who contested and lost were excluded from the party’s collective progress.
“We did not win alone; all the aspirants have won as well,” he stressed, calling for reconciliation, inclusiveness and collective responsibility.
Kunya appealed to the people of Ketu South to support the executives with prayers, constructive ideas and cooperation, expressing his ambition to help the NDC increase its electoral performance in the constituency fivefold.
He disclosed that following the election, the constituency chairman had tasked every executive to identify and present practical initiatives they intended to implement in their respective positions.
Outlining his communication agenda, Kunya presented seven key priorities:
1. Defend With Facts — 24-Hour Rapid Response Team
Establish a 24-hour rapid response team to provide swift, accurate and factual information to counter misinformation and protect the party’s image.
2. One Team: One Constituency, One Communication Team
Unite communication officers and representatives across all electoral areas under one coordinated network to ensure consistency and effective information sharing.
3. Knowledge And Expert Bureau:
Establish a C4C Communication Bureau made up of knowledgeable and experienced individuals to provide training, policy communication and advisory support.
4. Dominate The Airwaves:
Strengthen the party’s presence on Victory FM, Holy FM, Flow FM and Amenueve Radio to reach every corner of Ketu South.
5. Social Media War Room:
Build a strong digital communication strategy across WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, focusing on rapid content production, information dissemination and online mobilisation.
6. Empower Branches:
Organise semi-annual training programmes to equip branch communicators with the skills and capacity to effectively communicate the party’s messages.
7. Discipline And Loyalty
Uphold party discipline, loyalty and integrity at all levels as essential values for building a united and effective communication structure.
Kunya further disclosed that Edzorna Mensah has been incorporated into the communication team to strengthen its capacity.
He revealed that efforts are already underway to secure mobile phones for party communicators, including radio callers and branch communication officers, while plans are also being considered to provide the necessary training and logistical support to enable them to perform effectively.
He concluded by cautioning supporters against allowing individual loyalties to become a source of division or hostility.
Supporting a particular aspirant, he said, should never become a reason to attack or disrespect another member of the NDC, insisting that everyone belongs to the same umbrella and must work together for the party’s success.
Ferguson Ahorlu: Ketu South NDC’s 2028 Victory Is Assured:
The newly elected Ketu South NDC Constituency Chairman, Hon. Ferguson Ahorlu, expressed excitement over Mensah’s victory and the massive show of support at the celebration.
He recounted that upon arriving at the venue and seeing the large crowd gathered to celebrate Mensah, he immediately became convinced that the NDC has a promising future in Ketu South.
“If an eight-member executive can attract this kind of support, then Ketu South NDC has a future. The victory for the NDC in 2028 is assured,” he declared.
Hon. Ahorlu said he was particularly happy about Mensah’s victory because he had identified qualities and abilities in him that could be useful in advancing the party’s objectives.
He expressed confidence that Mensah would make a meaningful contribution towards securing victory for the NDC in the 2028 general elections.
The chairman thanked supporters for their continued commitment and disclosed that the newly elected executives had already commenced work through meetings and consultations.
He explained that their immediate focus is to prepare for the upcoming regional and national party elections, after which attention will fully shift towards positioning the party for the 2028 general elections.
Hon. Ahorlu encouraged the people of Ketu South to play their part while the executives also fulfil their responsibilities, expressing confidence that with God’s guidance, their collective aspirations can be achieved.
He assured party members that he would support every meaningful initiative capable of revitalising the NDC in the constituency.
Using Mensah’s victory celebration as an example, the chairman observed that today’s individual initiatives could grow into something much bigger tomorrow if properly supported and nurtured.
He therefore encouraged members to support positive ideas and prayed that whatever Mensah had started would develop into something great for the party and the constituency.
A New Chapter For Ketu South NDC
The celebration brought renewed attention to the importance of unity, effective communication and collective responsibility following the constituency elections.
With Mensah pledging to amplify the concerns of the people, Kunya outlining an ambitious seven-point communication agenda, and Hon. Ahorlu calling for unity and stronger commitment, the newly elected leadership appears determined to turn the confidence demonstrated by supporters into tangible party-building efforts.
The real test, however, will lie in translating these promises and initiatives into practical results that strengthen the party’s grassroots structures, restore confidence among members and improve its electoral fortunes.
For the NDC in Ketu South, the message from the celebration was clear: the victory celebration may be over, but the real work towards 2028 has begun.
