While congratulating the new executives on Sunday, Mahama said their election should mark the beginning of hard work to ensure unity ahead of 2020 polls. “The real work has just begun and we must all put our shoulders to the wheel going forward,” Mahama said in a statement on Facebook.

Mahama was reacting after the NDC held its regional executive elections last saturday in all ten regions across the country to elect new executives.

He congratulated all newly-elected executives, but was quick to add that the support and contributions of unsuccessful constituency aspirants are also still very much needed.
