Comparing ourselves to NPP is setting the bar at ground level, NDC must aim higher – Opong-Fosu

Board Chairman of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority and former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Akwasi Opong-Fosu, has cautioned the youth wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against using the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a benchmark for political governance, describing such comparisons as setting the bar at ground level.

Addressing delegates at the Western Region NDC Youth and TEIN Conference, held under the theme "Building the Past, Empowering the Future," Mr Opong-Fosu said that the NDC must transcend local political rivalry and position itself as a continental benchmark for good governance.

He challenged youth activists to demand institutional integrity from both party leadership and state organs to combat rising political apathy, ensuring that campus-level activism translates into visible, selfless leadership within local communities.
