“Larabanga has been the NDC’s shield,” the petition stated, adding that the continued exclusion of the community from appointments had created “deep emotional wounds” and growing disillusionment among party faithful. The petitioners also highlighted the spiritual support Larabanga had consistently offered the NDC, noting that local imams regularly pray for the success and well-being of President Mahama and the party. Raising political concerns, the group warned that the perceived neglect had opened the door for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to make inroads into Larabanga. They cautioned that unless urgent steps were taken, the community could shift from being an NDC stronghold to a political battleground. The group appealed to President Mahama to intervene decisively, urging him to ensure that qualified sons and daughters of Larabanga were appointed into national and regional positions, and that the community’s standing within the NDC was restored.
