General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has stressed that the June 4th uprising warrants discipline, integrity and accountability in public service.
He argued that these values are sacrosanct and must be adhered to by current generation of politicians.
The General Secretary made statement at the party’s headquarters in Accra on Friday (May 15, 2026), during the launch of series of nationwide activities to mark June 2026 as “NDC Month”,a period the party says will be used for reflection, political education and recommitment to its founding ideals.
“June 4 uprising represented a national call for integrity, discipline in public service, and responsible leadership—values he noted remain relevant in Ghana’s current democratic dispensation”,Mr. Kwetey stressed.
He further linked the commemoration to what he described as the “Reset Agenda” of the government of President John Dramani Mahama, saying it aligns with efforts to rebuild public trust, strengthen governance systems, and improve transparency in state institutions.
Touching on the “NDC Month” the General Secretary said the observance is intended to reconnect members and the wider public to the historical roots and ideological foundations of the party.
He explained that the month-long programme, which officially begins on May 15, carries historical significance linked to Ghana’s political evolution, particularly events preceding the formation of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) and the eventual establishment of the NDC.
Mr. Kwetey also paid tribute to the party’s founder and Ghana’s first President under the Fourth Republic, Jerry John Rawlings, describing him as a central figure in the country’s democratic development and a symbol of probity, accountability and social justice.
He said Rawlings’ legacy continues to shape the party’s philosophy and will be prominently reflected in this year’s commemorative activities.
Outlining the programme, Mr Kwetey said a series of events will be held across the country involving party members, traditional leaders, youth groups, cadres and civil society organisations.
He announced that on June 3, a public lecture will be held in the Banda Constituency to examine the historical significance of the June 4 uprising and its relevance to institutional governance.
On June 4, a ceremonial programme including flag raising, wreath laying, and a durbar of chiefs and people will take place in the Bono Region to mark the anniversary.
June 10 will be observed as NDC Day, focusing on the party’s ideological foundations and encouraging greater participation in democratic governance, particularly among young people and women.
Cadres Day will be commemorated on June 19 in Kumasi under the theme “Ensuring Transparent Governance: The Role of Cadres”, while June 22 will be marked as Founder’s Day with activities including the renaming of the party headquarters in honour of Jerry John Rawlings and the unveiling of his bust.
Mr Kwetey stressed that the programme is not merely ceremonial, but designed to deepen political education, promote unity and reinforce the values that underpin the NDC’s identity.
He called on members and supporters nationwide to participate fully in the activities, urging discipline, unity and patriotism throughout the commemorative period.
“The NDC remains committed to building a stronger Ghana where state institutions work effectively for all citizens,” he said, adding that the party would continue to pursue what he described as a more accountable and inclusive system of governance.
He concluded with a rallying call: “Together, let us keep alive the spirit of June 4. Together, let us deepen the Reset Agenda.”
