Baba Jamal pledges Unity ahead of Ayawaso East By-Election

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the Ayawaso East by-election, Baba Jamal, has pledged to consolidate the party’s gains and promote inclusivity if elected in the March 3 poll.

Jamal made the remarks after receiving a donation from Hajia Amina Adam, his main contender in the party’s primaries, in Accra on Monday, February 23. He described the gesture as a strong signal of unity within the party.

“NDC is united. We are united for a common purpose. We are united to ensure that whatever the votes are, we promise to increase the votes this time, inshallah. With this unity and the support from all the contestants, I hope and pray that all other supporters on the ground will learn from what we are doing here,” Jamal said.

He added that the focus now is on unity and collective leadership in the constituency.

“The elections are over. We now have only one candidate, and that candidate is the one leading us into the by-election. I can assure you that I, Baba Jamal, will ensure that there’s unity in this constituency,” he said.

Jamal also emphasised fairness and inclusivity, promising to treat all party members equally.

“I will ensure that every member of the constituency executive or the party members will be treated equally and fairly. We are not here to hunt anybody. We are not here to divide the front. We are here to unite the front in the interest of Ayawaso East,” he added.

Looking ahead, the NDC candidate said the party’s focus will be on development and tangible progress.

“We are here to ensure that some two, three years from now, when we come back to the people, we have monumental development to point our hands to. That is why we are here,” he stated.

He concluded by expressing gratitude to Hajia Amina Adam and her team for their support.

“I thank Hajia very much. Please send my regards to her and tell her that surely she will see us before we do the elections. Thank you very much.”
