The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketia, has cautioned party youth against using social media platforms to insult elders and party leaders.
Speaking during his thank-you tour in Kasoa within the Awutu Senya East Constituency, Mr. Nketia urged young members of the party to exercise restraint and responsibility in their online engagements.
According to him, while social media remains an important tool for political communication and mobilization, it should not be used as a shield for disrespectful conduct.
He warned that posts made online can have lasting consequences.
“Social media never forgets,” he emphasized, noting that comments and insults shared online can resurface in the future and damage both personal reputations and the image of the party.
Mr. Nketia therefore encouraged the youth of the NDC to uphold the party’s values by promoting unity, respect, and constructive dialogue rather than engaging in attacks against elders or fellow members.
Mr. Nketia also addressed the issue of electoral violence, stressing that such acts must not go unpunished. He noted that all incidents of electoral violence — including those recorded in Kasoa — would not be overlooked, and perpetrators must face the full rigours of the law.
“If we want to end electoral violence, then we must begin prosecutions from past incidents and stop covering up for people,” he stated.
He emphasized that accountability and justice are essential to safeguarding Ghana’s democratic process and deterring future acts of violence.
