He emphasized that living conditions are hard and encouraged everyone to vote out the NPP government.
Regarding free SHS, Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah clarified that the Mahama NDC government won’t cancel the policy but rather address the excesses, such as double track and poor feeding.

Asiedu Nketiah shared his personal experience and history in the Taifa community, where he first worked in Accra.
He testified about the community’s strong loyalty to the NPP, which led to attacks on NDC supporters.
Despite this, Asiedu Nketiah noted that the NPP did nothing developmental in the community, while NDC governments made significant contributions.
Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah called on the community to change their voting orientation, expressing happiness at the community’s newfound embrace of the NDC.
He assured his strong support for Hon. PC Elikplim Akurugu to become a better MP for the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency.
