The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, popularly known as Chairman General, has ended his two day visit to the Upper East Region as part of his nationwide Thank You Tour from April 27 to 28, 2026.

He was accompanied by the National Vice Chairman and other party officials from Accra and Kumasi, together with key regional figures including the Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Atanga Akamugri, Daniel Mahama Duut, the Member of Parliament for Talensi, and executives of the party in the region.

The visit was to express appreciation to the electorate for returning the NDC to power and to provide updates on the government’s performance.

On the first day of the tour, Mr. Asiedu Nketia visited four districts, Talensi, Nabdam, Bongo, and Bolgatanga East, where he met party members and local stakeholders.

He used the opportunity to encourage members of the party to remain calm and committed, particularly in light of concerns raised by some youth regarding employment, roads, and other development issues.
As part of his engagements, the National Chairman paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chiefs of all four districts, including the Paramount Chief of the Talensi Traditional Area, Tongraan Kugbilsong Nalebegtang. During the visit, the Chief commended government for ongoing development projects in the area and called for continued peace and unity to support development efforts.
The visit was generally calm and well organised, with party supporters turning out in modest numbers across the districts to welcome the delegation. The interactions remained focused and orderly, reflecting the purpose of the tour as one of appreciation and engagement rather than celebration.

The tour continues with further engagements across the region as part of the party’s nationwide outreach, as the leadership seeks to strengthen its connection with the grassroots and maintain confidence among its supporters.
