The declaration was made on Sunday, December 28, at his residence at Ahenema Kokobeng, Island City, during the NDC Island–City end-of-year celebration, which drew party faithful, supporters, and notable regional leaders.

The program, full of energy and camaraderie, featured lively dancing, sumptuous meals, and heartfelt interactions among attendees. In a special gesture of appreciation, Mr. Jabari presented gifts to hardworking individuals across the various party branches who have contributed significantly, supported the party tirelessly, or made personal sacrifices throughout their political lives.
