Accra: Citizen Eye Ghana (CITEG), a civil society organization with over seventy thousand registered members across all sixteen regions of Ghana, has endorsed Dr. Julius Debrah as the ideal candidate to unite the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and lead it to victory in the 2028 elections.
According to Ghana Web, CITEG has conducted extensive surveys, research, and intelligence gathering over the past six months, including discreet consultations with security experts and cross-referencing data from National Security and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), to evaluate the leading presidential aspirants of the NDC.
CITEG's findings highlight Dr. Julius Debrah as possessing a unique combination of temperament, cross-party appeal, and unifying force necessary for the NDC's success. Their research, corroborated by intelligence assessments, reveals that Debrah is the only candidate capable of garnering unanimous support from all other aspirants after the primaries, mitigating the risk of party fracture.
Debrah's political career is marked by his ability to build bridges without burning others, serving every faction of the NDC with equal respect. Intelligence reports indicate that even his fiercest competitors privately acknowledge their willingness to work under his leadership. In a political landscape where a divided party often leads to electoral defeat, CITEG posits that Debrah is the essential glue needed for unity.
CITEG emphasizes that Julius Debrah's leadership transcends political divides. He does not differentiate between NPP and NDC members, focusing instead on competence, integrity, and service to the people. Surveys in traditionally NPP strongholds such as Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Eastern regions indicate significant support for Debrah among NPP's middle class and influential business figures, showcasing his cross-party appeal.
Drawing parallels with international leaders, CITEG underscores Debrah's strategic statesmanship, akin to the approach taken by former U.S. President Trump, who assembled a cabinet of wealthy individuals focused on public service. Unlike leaders who prioritize personal gain, Debrah's ambition is solely to build Ghana, a nation he has served with distinction in various capacities, including as Chief of Staff.
CITEG warns against the risk of policy reversal and administrative chaos if the NDC nominates any candidate other than Debrah. They urge President John Dramani Mahama to endorse Debrah, emphasizing continuity as a vital legacy for Ghana. The organization also calls on the government to equip the Military Engineers of the Ghana Armed Forces, a move they believe will enhance national development and instill discipline in civilian contractors.
Julius Debrah's track record demonstrates his commitment to industrial growth and job creation. His vision for a 24-hour economy involves establishing processing plants in agriculture, textiles, and light manufacturing, providing employment opportunities for the youth and utilizing the nation's abundant resources.
CITEG also reminds President Mahama of their proposal for the First Lady's Bank Ghana, aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs. They urge its implementation before the end of Mahama's term or suggest it as a flagship policy for Debrah.
The organization's analysis concludes that Julius Debrah represents a bridge between past NDC leaders and the future of Ghana. His leadership qualities, grassroots support, and temperament make him the indispensable choice for the NDC's success in 2028. The call for unity behind Debrah is not just an option but a necessity for the party and the nation's future.
