Former President John Dramani Mahama has announced a plan to decentralize the work of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Party School.
This he says he would achieve by ensuring that branches of the school are set up in the various regions to train and re-orient branch and constituency executives on the ideals and history of the party.
Speaking at Suhum as part of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Mr. Mahama stated “it is not enough to say you are an NDC executive. You must understand what the party stands for.”
Mr. Mahama says the move is important because the NDC’s 2024 campaign will be anchored on the work of the party’s branch executives across the country thus the need to ensure that they are not only resourced to carry out an effective campaign but also equipped with continuous training.
“We will therefore send all branch and constituency executives to the Party school to learn about the party, our ideology, its origins, Jerry Rawlings and about the Revolution, and the party constitution,” he said.
He further explained that the training to be given by the yet to be created Regional Party Schools will also focus on the functions of the executives, the NDC’s policies, campaigning, voter mobilization and canvassing among others.
The former president spent three days in the Eastern Region as part of his ‘Building the Ghana we want Together’ campaign tour and visited 31 out of the 33 constituencies of the region in this phase of the campaign.
The tour of the Eastern region means the former President has taken his tour to 8 regions.
John Mahama has received an overwhelming endorsement from the party’s delegates in all 8 regions and is expected to get the same treatment at the Greater Accra Region, the next stop on his road to what is predicted to be a landslide victory at the May 13, 2023 presidential primaries.
