The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced its final rally for the 2024 general elections, scheduled for Thursday, December 5, in Accra. This grand event will be held at Zurak Park in Madina and is set to commence at noon. The rally, themed "Resetting Ghana – Let’s Finish Strong!", marks the culmination of the NDC's vigorous campaign efforts.
Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC’s National Communications Officer, officially extended an invitation to party supporters, the media, and the general public to attend the event. In a statement, he emphasized the significance of the rally, describing it as a pivotal moment to bring together the party’s supporters as they prepare for the December 7 elections.
The event is expected to feature speeches from key NDC leaders, including former President John Dramani Mahama, who is also the party's flagbearer. The rally will highlight the party’s vision for Ghana, encapsulated in its campaign message of hope and transformation. Gyamfi urged media houses to contact the party’s Communications Bureau for accreditation to ensure seamless coverage of the event.
Coinciding with the NDC’s rally, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has also scheduled its final rally on the same day in Accra. Dubbed the "Possibilities Victory Rally," the NPP's event will take place at the UG Sports Directorate Park, opposite the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. The party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, described the rally as a "historic programme," designed to energize party supporters and showcase their readiness for the elections.
In a statement released on November 30, Boakye invited all NPP members, supporters, and the public to participate in what he assured would be an electrifying event. The rally will be broadcast live across major media platforms, ensuring that supporters nationwide can be part of the grand finale.
The NPP rally is set to feature an impressive lineup of the party’s heavyweights, including President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former President John Agyekum Kufuor, and running mate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh. Other key figures expected to address the gathering include the National Chairman, Stephen Ayesu Ntim, and General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong.
These simultaneous rallies by Ghana’s two major political parties underscore the high stakes of the upcoming elections. Both parties are aiming to leave a lasting impression on voters as the campaign season draws to a close. While the NDC’s rally will focus on its message of resetting and revitalizing the nation, the NPP’s event will celebrate its achievements and project a vision of continued progress under their leadership.
As the December 7 elections approach, these rallies represent the final opportunities for the parties to connect with voters on a large scale. Both events are expected to attract massive crowds, with party supporters from across the country converging in Accra to demonstrate their allegiance and enthusiasm.
Political analysts have noted that the timing of these rallies on the same day is a testament to the intense competition between the NDC and NPP. The choice of Accra as the venue for both events also highlights the strategic importance of the capital city in influencing the national electorate.
While the rallies are primarily celebratory and motivational in nature, they will also serve as platforms for the parties to reinforce their campaign messages. The NDC is expected to reiterate its commitment to addressing the country’s pressing economic challenges and delivering inclusive development. On the other hand, the NPP is likely to focus on its track record of governance and the continuity of its policies.
As Ghanaians prepare to head to the polls, the importance of peaceful campaigning and adherence to democratic principles cannot be overstated. The Electoral Commission and civil society organizations have called on all political actors to ensure that their activities are conducted in a manner that promotes peace and unity.
These final rallies will undoubtedly set the tone for the last days of campaigning and may influence undecided voters. With the stakes so high, the nation watches closely as the NDC and NPP make their final push in what promises to be a closely contested election.
In conclusion, December 5 will be a significant day in Ghana’s political calendar, as the two leading parties showcase their strength and vision in Accra. The rallies are not just about politics; they are a celebration of Ghana’s vibrant democracy, where citizens have the power to decide the future of their nation.
