From Derrick Schandorf Ayirebi-Acquah to President Mahama: An open letter on why 2028 could be a mirage for the NDC

In a thought-provoking open letter, Derrick Schandorf Ayirebi Acquah addresses President John Mahama, outlining critical challenges that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) faces as it looks towards the 2028 elections. Acquah argues that the party's current trajectory could lead to disillusionment among supporters and ultimately hinder its chances of success. He emphasizes that without genuine introspection and a clear strategy for reconnecting with constituents, the NDC risks becoming irrelevant in a rapidly evolving political landscape.

Drawing attention to internal divisions and a lack of cohesive vision, Acquah warns that the party must prioritize unity and grassroots engagement. He suggests that failure to do so may result in an electoral defeat reminiscent of past disappointments. Moreover, he calls on leaders within the NDC to learn from previous mistakes and adopt innovative approaches to appeal to younger voters while addressing pressing national issues.

As the political climate shifts, Acquah’s letter serves as a wake-up call for the NDC, urging it to reevaluate its strategies if it hopes to avoid another election setback in 2028.
