Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the National Democratic Congress’ General Secretary, warned delegates in the Volta Region not to let money sway their choice of leaders in the upcoming regional executive elections.
Speaking before the voting at the Volta Regional Delegates Conference in Ho, Kwetey urged voters to elect aspirants who have shown loyalty, commitment and self‑lessness to the party. He cautioned that choosing leaders based on the money they offer could have negative consequences for the NDC and its members.
“Remember that the fate of the region lies in your hands today. Don’t fold because somebody has given you more money,” Kwetey told the delegates. He added that elected executives would be responsible for ensuring that resources allocated to the region by the national leadership benefit members.
“If you commit to working for your good, people will ensure that when resources come from the national leadership, those resources can go to all of you. But if you collect the money today and the people start to divert those resources, you will suffer tomorrow,” he said.
Kwetey highlighted the importance of voting for those who have demonstrated loyalty and self‑lessness in the party’s cause. He also commended delegates for their support of the national leadership and expressed hope that the regional elections across the country would be conducted peacefully.
