Plans for Improving the Party’s Polling and Electoral Area Campaigns
Mr. Mahama is acutely aware of the challenges facing the NDC in terms of polling and electoral area campaigns.

He will also encourage branch and constituency executives to work together towards a common goal and ensure that the party is well-represented in every polling station and electoral area.
Reward Scheme for Party Branches
In a bid to incentivize party branches to increase their polling station votes in both parliamentary and presidential elections, Mr. Mahama has announced a reward scheme. Branches that perform well will be recognized and rewarded, with prizes ranging from cash awards to party-branded items. This scheme aims to encourage healthy competition and motivate party branches to work hard to secure as many votes as possible.
