The National Tenants Union of Ghana (NATUG) has publicly endorsed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) housing policies after reviewing various political parties’ proposals.
NATUG praised the NDC’s plans to establish an independent Rent Authority by transforming the Rent Control Department.
They also appreciated the party’s commitment to introducing low-interest rent advance schemes and promoting affordable housing options.
NATUG criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) housing promises, labelling them “recycled, unfulfilled, and broken.”
This announcement comes as John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, has vowed to prioritise low-cost housing for Ghanaians.
NATUG said the NDC’s housing policies align with its goals, declaring its support for the party.
In a statement dated Wednesday, October 2, NATUG said, “After comparing the housing policies of both parties, the National Tenants’ Union of Ghana have decided to endorse the housing proposals of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).”
The group called on the NDC to fully implement these policies if elected, to alleviate the housing challenges facing many Ghanaians, cautioning to hold Mahama accountable in 2028 if he wins the elections.
“Furthermore, we call on the NDC’s leadership and their Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama to fully implement these policies if elected, to alleviate the housing challenges facing many Ghanaians.
“The Union will hold a future John Dramani Mahama-led government accountable to these promises during the 2025-2028 period.”
