In the Agotime-Ziope Constituency of Ghana, the aspiring deputy communications officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. D.R Kovor, has called on fellow aspirants, delegates, and party supporters to prioritize peace, unity, and mutual respect in their campaigns. He emphasized that internal party contests should be friendly and aimed at choosing leaders, rather than being marred by toxic rhetoric or divisive tendencies that could harm the party's grassroots ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr. Kovor highlighted the importance of post-election cohesion for the NDC to sustain its dominance in the constituency and drive the national agenda. He stressed that the party's collective focus should be on its strength and victory, and that campaigns should be clean, issue-based, and respectful. After the internal elections, he noted, every hand will be needed, and burning bridges or creating animosity would be counterproductive to their ultimate mission in 2028.
Mr. Kovor's motivation for seeking the deputy communications officer portfolio is centered on modernizing the constituency's publicity machinery, training branch communicators, and defending the party's developmental track record across Agotime-Ziope. He believes that in the digital age, the party's communication bureau must move beyond reactive statements to proactive agenda-setting.
The aspirant outlined his key vision pillars, which include decentralizing grassroots messaging by equipping branch communication officers with timely facts, data, and communication logistics. He also plans to expand the party's social media presence to engage the youth and vigorously articulate the transformative track record of the NDC and its Member of Parliament in driving local development.
Mr. Kovor's decision to contest the position follows deep self-reflection and a conviction that the party requires renewed energy and a modern approach to grassroots communication. He promised to promote strategic messaging, digital communication, and stronger engagement with party members across the constituency.
The aspirant's vision is to build a more visible, responsive, pragmatic, inclusive, research-driven, timely, and digitally empowered communications apparatus. He believes this will enable the party to connect effectively with grassroots members. With previous experience in the branch communications office and involvement in communication campaigns, Mr. Kovor is confident in his ability to lead the party's communication efforts.
As part of his campaign, Mr. Kovor plans to embark on a constituency-wide tour to meet party members, engage in meaningful conversations, and inspire hope among them. He has listened to party members' concerns and reflected on their struggles and aspirations, and is committed to promoting a more effective and responsive communication system within the NDC.
