The National Democratic Congress (NDC) remains deeply committed to the principles and values of Social Democracy As Social Democrats, we subscribe to a compassionate political philosophy that seeks to create opportunities for all to develop to their fullest potential.
Good governance, transparency and the fight against corruption are fundamental to building a stable and prosperous nation. Citizens can draw confidence from Ghana’s impressive progress in this area – and our work continues.
The first step towards transforming our country into the Ghana we all aspire to involves embedding the principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability more deeply into our national culture while continuing our fight against corruption.
Under our leadership, Ghana has performed impressively in global rankings measuring the most important governance indicators − human rights, transparency, and the rule of law. What’s more, we have a vibrant civil society and active media that act as the nation’s eyes and ears in a free and open environment.
We as the NDC believe that a nation’s heart is reflected in their treatment of its most vulnerable citizens: the elderly, the infirm, children and the poorest in our society.
Others talk about doing great things – We Deliver!
