A day ago
The Deputy Communications Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale, has made a passionate appeal to the people of Ablekuma West. Speaking at a lively mini-rally, he urged residents to vote massively against the sitting Member of Parliament, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, in the upcoming elections. He didn’t hold back as he outlined his reasons, boldly claiming that Ursula Owusu has been involved in questionable dealings. Basintale promised that, if given the chance, he would ensure she faces justice for her alleged misdeeds.
"I want you to do something important for me," he said, addressing the crowd. "I hope you all know that Ursula Owusu will no longer be a minister for communication after this election. Instead, she’ll become a 'minister' in Nsawam," he said, referring to the location of Ghana’s central prison in a scathing remark.
Malik Basintale went further to assure the people that he is ready to take action once the elections are over. “Vote massively against Ursula Owusu and leave the rest to me,” he declared with confidence.
### Promises of Accountability
The NDC communicator claimed he has evidence of the alleged shady deals involving the Communications Minister. “I have all her receipts in my pocket,” he said, hinting that he has documents to prove his accusations. He assured voters that he would ensure Ursula Owusu is arrested and prosecuted, emphasizing that her time in power is nearing its end.
“With six days left for her to leave office, she should start preparing for a new life in Nsawam,” Basintale remarked, adding that the thieves in the prison might make her their new “communications minister.” His comments drew laughter and applause from the crowd, who seemed energized by his boldness.
### A Call for Change in Ablekuma West
Malik Basintale’s remarks were not just about Ursula Owusu; they were part of a broader call for change in Ablekuma West. He encouraged voters to support the NDC parliamentary candidate and promised that the party’s young and vibrant team would ensure their voices are heard.
He also had some advice for the NDC candidate in the constituency. "After casting your ballot, go home and sleep," he said, explaining that the rest of the work would be handled by party members and supporters. Basintale cautioned against complacency, warning that if there were any attempts to manipulate the election, the NDC would respond decisively.
“Let us be vigilant. If they try anything, we will retaliate in equal measure,” he added, drawing cheers from the crowd.
### Building Momentum for the NDC
This rally in Ablekuma West is part of the NDC’s final push to win key constituencies across Ghana.

He urged them to reject leaders who fail to serve the people and instead choose those who will prioritize the needs of the community.
“You have the power to make a difference,” he said. “Don’t let anyone take that away from you. Your vote is your voice, and together, we can bring change to Ablekuma West.”
