Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has appealed to party supporters who are yet to receive appointments to remain calm and patient, stressing that appointments under the current administration are limited.
According to Asiedu Nketia, it is practically impossible to appoint all deserving members at the same time due to the constitutional restrictions placed on the number of appointments the president can make.
Addressing party faithful during a meeting at Winneba in the Effutu Constituency on Thursday, February 12, Asiedu Nketia acknowledged the frustrations being expressed by some members and sought to reassure them that their concerns are understood and appreciated by the party leadership.

“I am aware that some of you are unhappy because you did not get to be appointed to any position upon our return to power. This is understandable. It is the reason why I am embarking on this ‘Thank You Tour’, to explain issues for your understanding.
“The challenge is that, given the number of appointments that the constitution permits President Mahama to make, not all members of the NDC can be taken care of. So be patient. There is no need to be angry with the party.”
He further urged party members to avoid resorting to anger or public criticism and instead use established internal channels to seek redress for any grievances they may have.
According to him, constructive engagement within the party structures remains the best way to resolve outstanding concerns.
Asiedu Nketia is currently touring the Central Region as part of the NDC’s post-election engagements.
