The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has cautioned delegates in the Volta Region against allowing financial inducements to influence their choice of leaders in the ongoing regional executive elections.
He urged delegates to elect aspirants who have demonstrated loyalty, commitment and selflessness towards the party, warning that choosing leaders based on the money they offer could have consequences for the party and its members.
Speaking ahead of the voting at the Volta Regional Delegates Conference in Ho, Mr Kwetey said, “Remember that the fate of the region lies in your hands today. Don’t fold because somebody has given you more money.”
He argued that delegates should consider the long-term interests of the party, noting that elected executives would be responsible for ensuring that resources allocated to the region by the national leadership benefit members.
“Don’t forget those who have shown loyalty to this party, who have worked hard for this party, who have shown selflessness in the cause of this party. Those are the people that you should be voting for,” he said.
He also commended delegates for their support for the party’s national leadership and expressed hope that the regional elections across the country would be conducted peacefully.
