“The Party counts on the full cooperation and support of all members to ensure a transparent, peaceful, orderly and successful electoral process,” the statement said.
Deputy General Secretary Barbara Serwaa Asamoah signed the release on behalf of the General Secretary.
The December 12 elections are expected to shape the NDC’s national executive leadership and determine the team responsible for coordinating the party’s administration, organisation and preparations for the 2028 general elections.
