National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has made a provocative statement, declaring “the great elephant has been slaughtered mercilessly”. This bold claim comes on the heels of the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections.

The NDC’s victory saw Mahama securing 56.55% of the vote against the NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who garnered 41.61%.

Asiedu Nketia’s phrase is widely seen as a metaphorical reference to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which is often symbolized by an elephant. His statement is being interpreted as a triumphant declaration of the NDC’s victory over their long-time rivals.

In the aftermath of the election, Asiedu Nketia has urged party executives and supporters to remain modest in their celebrations, instead focusing on planning for Ghana’s future under NDC leadership. With the NDC’s victory, Asiedu Nketia is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the country’s direction.
