The guest list extends beyond the party, with invitations extended to members of the diplomatic corps, religious leaders, traditional authorities, civil society organizations, academia, labor unions, and representatives from the creative arts sector.
In a statement released by Sammy Gyamfi, the party’s National Communications Officer, it was revealed that the event’s organizing committee has worked meticulously to ensure the success of the launch.

As the NDC prepares for this pivotal moment, John Dramani Mahama has emphasized that the manifesto launch represents a critical milestone in the party’s mission to address and overcome the numerous challenges that have plagued Ghana for too long.
He has positioned this launch as the beginning of a journey towards national renewal and progress, with the manifesto outlining the NDC’s vision and strategies for achieving this goal.
It also marks “the first step towards resetting our dear nation, Ghana”, he stressed in a brief promotional video released on Friday, August 23.
In his message, Mr. Mahama said, “Tomorrow, we take the first step towards resetting our dear nation Ghana. We face challenges that have held us back for too long, but now it’s time to build the Ghana we all want together.
Join me from Winneba in the Central region as I unveil a vision for our future that will bring justice, jobs, and prosperity to every corner of our beloved nation, Ghana. Tomorrow, we begin the journey together.”
