The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has suspended his scheduled “Thank You Tour” of the North East Region following emerging security concerns.
The decision, according to party insiders, was taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of Mr. Asiedu Nketiah, party executives, and supporters who were expected to participate in the tour. The “Thank You Tour” forms part of the NDC’s post-election activities aimed at expressing gratitude to grassroots members and supporters for their commitment and contributions.
Sources within the party indicate that intelligence reports pointed to potential security threats in parts of the region, prompting leadership to halt the visit. While specific details of the threats have not been publicly disclosed, the party maintains that the move is in the best interest of all involved.
In a brief statement, the NDC leadership reassured supporters that the suspension is temporary and that the tour will resume once the security situation improves. The party also urged its members in the region to remain calm and continue supporting its activities.
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah has been leading similar tours across various regions, interacting with party faithful, addressing concerns, and outlining the party’s vision ahead of upcoming political engagements.
The NDC reiterated its commitment to the safety of its members and emphasized that it will continue to work closely with security agencies to assess the situation before announcing a new date for the North East leg of the tour.
