We went for an election, the party has won, and the national chairman has decided to embark on a \u2018Thank You\u2019 tour. And I am surprised some people are complaining; what is the problem?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining further, he pointed out that the party adopted a new style of campaigning during the election period, where different leaders played unique roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at the campaign that we ran, for the first time, we had a different style of campaigning. We had a campaign where the national chairman had to lead it with a particular team. The fact that I also led a team, the running mate led a team, and the general secretary was coordinating the various campaigns,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kutor recalled one of the campaign rallies in the Ashanti Region, where Mr Asiedu Nketiah assured voters he would personally return to express gratitude if they supported John Mahama.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/sotnews.agency\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Video-2025-09-18-at-11.54.18-1-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIn one of the campaigns in the Ashanti Region, he told them that if they agree and vote for Mahama, he himself will come to thank them. So what is wrong with the national chairman deciding to go and thank the people?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>His explanation aligns with what was offered by Mr Nketiah.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC Chairman said he deliberately targeted difficult constituencies, mobilising grassroots structures to secure gains for the NDC.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe went into areas that were considered NPP strongholds, engaged with communities, and by God\u2019s grace, before the elections ended, we were able to capture many constituencies from their hands,\u201d he recounted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He emphasised that his \u2018Thank You\u2019 tour is specifically tied to the success of the parliamentary elections. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis tour is not about the presidential campaign\u2014it is about appreciating the efforts of our people who worked tirelessly to win seats in Parliament and to strengthen the party\u2019s position,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n
