Augustus Nana Kwasi Andrews, the Ashanti Regional leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed he is under a lot of pressure, as the party’s grassroots are demanding jobs.
According to the Ashanti Regional NDC Chairman, the NDC grassroots are calling for more, demanding their own share of appointments and employment opportunities.
Augustus Nana Kwasi Andrews asserted that the NDC grassroots played a critical role in securing the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections.
Speaking to journalists in Kumasi on December 8, the NDC Ashanti Regional Chairman stated, “Looking at the campaign that we did last election (2024), they did very well. They used their energy, their money, their resources, everything. And you know that when you work for somebody, and the person wins power, you have to compensate the person. And there’s a lot of pressure on me. So everybody is demanding.
He further urged the NDC grassroots to remain calm, adding that not everybody will get an appointment.
He added, “The grassroots are calling for more, and everybody needs their own share. That’s why I’m asking my branches to remain calm. They should have hope in H.E. President John Dramani Mahama”.
“We know that not everybody will get, but the few that will get an appointment, we have to bring it down so that everybody can enjoy their sweat.”
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama, marking his first anniversary following his unprecedented election victory, one year on, has told disgruntled NDC members their reward is not just in appointments.
According to John Dramani Mahama, his NDC family should hold tight, as their reward for the 2024 election is not just in appointments, but the Ghana they are building together.
President Maham highlighted that he is building a Ghana where children will have opportunities, where justice prevails, and where hard work is rewarded.
In a post shared on social media reflecting on his December 7, 2025, Mahama stated, “To my NDC family, hold on tight. Your reward is not just in positions or appointments, but in the Ghana we are building together, delivering a Ghana where your children will have opportunities, where justice prevails, and where hard work is rewarded”.
President Mahama further renewed his pledge to every Ghanaian of his commitment to building a Ghana for all.
According to John Mahama, his commitment to the #ResettingGhana agenda remains steadfast.
He added, “Today, I renew my pledge to every Ghanaian that we are building a Ghana for ALL our people, without discrimination, without exclusion, without favouritism. The Ghana We Want is not a dream deferred but a promise in progress.
My commitment to the #ResettingGhana agenda remains steadfast, and Vice President Naana Jane and our government will work every day to create opportunities, restore hope and rebuild trust in our institutions”.
