Former President John Dramani Mahama has announced an award scheme designed to reward branches and constituencies of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that work to increase their votes in the 2024 general elections.
“We are going to institute a reward system for constituencies and branches,” Mr. Mahama said on Wednesday, March 29 while on a three-day campaign tour in the Central Region.
“We’ll give every constituency a target and if you meet the target and exceed it, the branch and constituency will be rewarded.”
Mr. Mahama emphasized that the branches will serve as the foundation of his 2024 campaign, and that the award program would serve to both set goals for the constituency and motivate them to achieve those goals.
He committed to making sure that the campaign supplies and logistics required to support the branches' attempts to surpass their goals are made available.
Thus, he warned regional and constituency executives against holding onto campaign supplies and other resources at the expense of the branches where the actual work of canvassing voters takes place.
In order to engage, motivate, and canvass voters, the NDC's prospective flagbearer claims he will decentralize his campaign significantly more than he did in 2020. He will do this by collaborating with the branches and constituencies.
Before the NDC's presidential primary election on May 13, Mr. Mahama has already traveled to six different regions.
