National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has assured residents of Nyamkpala in the Tolon Constituency that the party will continue to pursue justice over the death of Haruna Shaibu, popularly known as Alhaji, who lost his life during the 2024 general elections.
Speaking during his ongoing thank-you tour of the Tolon Constituency in the Northern Region, Mr. Asiedu Nketia expressed appreciation to the people of Nyamkpala for their commitment and support before, during and after the elections.
According to him, the community played a key role in the NDC’s campaign efforts to return John Dramani Mahama to power and secure victory for the party’s parliamentary candidate.
“We thank the good people of Nyamkpala for your effort during, before and after the 2024 general elections. I came here with the team and we visited several places to appeal for votes to return President Mahama to power and also to get an MP elected on the ticket of the NDC,” he said.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia noted that both the party and residents of Nyamkpala worked hard during the campaign period.
“We did our best and I know the people of Nyamkpala did their best,” he stated.
The NDC Chairman, however, acknowledged the loss suffered by the community following the death of Haruna Shaibu during the elections.
“In the process, we lost one of our brothers, Alhaji Haruna. We are still pursuing that matter,” he said.
According to him, the people of Nyamkpala deserve more than appreciation because they lost a respected member of the community.
“The people of Nyamkpala need even more than our thanks because, apart from the campaign, you also lost a very good son,” he added.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia assured the family and residents that the party remains committed to seeking justice.
“So I am here to assure you that your son will not die in vain. We will continue to pursue the matter,” he stressed.
He further thanked traditional leaders and residents for their prayers, advice and guidance throughout the election period.
“So we want to thank everyone, including the Chief, for the prayers, advice and guidance,” he added.
