Fifi Fiavi Kwetey is General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
The recent directives issued by the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, on the party’s upcoming internal elections deserve strong commendation.
By setting December 19, 2026, for national executive elections and requiring government appointees to resign six months before contesting party positions, the NDC leadership has taken a bold and principled step toward strengthening internal democracy.
This directive promotes fairness and a level playing field for all aspirants.
It prevents the misuse of incumbency advantage and reassures grassroots members that party positions are earned through credibility, loyalty, and hard work — not access to state power.
The move also reinforces discipline and integrity within the party.
By making it clear that no one is above party rules, the leadership is building a culture of accountability that is essential for long-term political success.
Additionally, separating public office from party ambition helps avoid conflicts of interest, allowing government appointees to focus on their official duties while ensuring party elections remain credible and transparent.
Ultimately, these directives will help foster unity, trust, and stability within the NDC.
Transparent internal processes reduce tensions and strengthen collective commitment, positioning the party as a disciplined and credible force in Ghana’s democratic landscape.
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey’s leadership on this matter reflects foresight and commitment to party building — a necessary foundation for a stronger and more united NDC.
