There are strong indications that the Constitutional Amendment Committee intends to smuggle in obnoxious laws and bar Branch delegates from voting in Presidential elections ahead of the National Democratic Congress in December. Thus, Article 42 G discusses the party’s presidential elections and who is eligible to vote, as well as branch executives elected and co-opted, constituency, regional, and national executives elected and co-opted. Founding members Ministers and other officials.
They intend to remove the Branch executives from it. Everything is in place for Former President John Mahama to lead the party for the fourth time. It’s been a sleepless night for those who don’t want competition since Dr. Kwabena Duffour, a leading member of the party, popped up in the Flagbearer race. Dr. Kwabena Duffour’s name has recently gained popularity at the grassroots level. And, through his self-help public finance practical project, he has been able to bridge the gap at the grassroots level. A project that gave hope to the various branches and constituencies that it would be self-sustain
According to the source, the planned action, which is unknown to Committee members, will mock the party and defeat the purpose for which the provision was made in the first place, just as questions are raised about why embark on what they described as an unwarranted exercise.
The move to exclude the party’s ward statutory officials from certain party nomination processes at the state level will undoubtedly reflect negatively on the party and should be discouraged
It was gathered that the move to remove the statutory delegate officials of the party at the ward level for no reason of theirs will jeopardize the confidence of the party faithful at the grassroots and deplete the fortune of the party at the next general elections in 2024.
According to the source, some members of the party have vowed to oppose the move, calling it a constitutional violation and an evil plot against the grassroots.
According to the source, the planned action has defeated the goal of having delegates at the wards and grassroots to integrate the people and give power back to the people.
According to the source, “the party must be people-centered to make any reasonable impact in the coming elections because the expansion of the party statutory delegates to the ward level was to achieve the goal of bringing the party closer to the grassroots.” As a result, such an attempt will be null and void because it does not meet the stipulated constitutional positions. Let us put an end to this dirty politics.
According to Pluto, “the punishment of wise men who refuse to participate in government affairs is to live under the government of unwise men.” Let the NDC hear loud and clear that opposition does not begin and end with election results. Let the game begin, unless the NDC is still paying for its past transgressions.
