The GaDangme Alliance (GDA), a non-partisan political pressure group dedicated to empowering and mobilizing the GaDangme community, has launched a movement to advocate for block voting among GaDangme voters in the upcoming general elections and subsequent ones.
Speaking to His Eminence Nuumo Tsawe Otrom3. Tsawe Wulormor, Kpone. Member of the Greater Accra Regional peace council and secretary of the GaDangme council of Wulormoi on Plan B FM’s late afternoon political show EBAANOSEN hosted by Ohene Kinnah, His Eminence Nuumo Tsawe Otrom3 explained that, the aim is to secure significant improvements and benefits for the Greater Accra region.
He said the GDA, the alliance seeks to transcend political affiliations and unite GaDangme voters behind a strategic block voting approach.
This approach involves approximately 2.5 million GaDangme voters casting their ballots not based on party lines but rather in favour of GaDangme candidates who promise to prioritize the interests of Greater Accra. His Eminence Nuumo Tsawe Otrom3 emphasized that this strategy serves as a bargaining chip to negotiate a social contract with the government.
The GDA envisions block voting as a means to give GaDangmes a stronger voice in shaping the region’s future, particularly in areas such as education.
He highlighted the importance of fostering critical thinking skills through tailored educational initiatives in Greater Accra.
Furthermore, the GDA aims to establish community learning centres in every locality to support students after school and during exam preparation.
These centres will provide resources and tutoring to enhance academic performance and ensure that students have access to educational support beyond the classroom.
Additionally, the alliance plans to advocate for GaDangme representation in all universities and polytechnic schools in the Greater Accra region through dedicated slots.
This initiative aims to increase access to higher education for GaDangme youth and promote their participation in academic and professional spheres.
Moreover, the GaDangme Alliance is pushing for the creation of the GaDangme Development Agency to oversee comprehensive planning and development initiatives for Greater Accra.
This agency would play a pivotal role in ensuring the region’s sustainable growth and prosperity by coordinating infrastructure projects, economic development programs, and community initiatives tailored to the needs of GaDangme communities.
Through these initiatives, the GaDangme Alliance aims to empower GaDangmes to actively participate in the political process, advocate for their interests, and contribute to the overall progress and development of the Greater Accra region.
