The National Democratic Congress' Member of Parliament for Adentan Constituency, Kojo Adu-Asare has said that criticisms being poured on the NDC by its founder, J.J. Rawlings is part of an agenda to disintegrate the fortunes of the NDC.

According to the Adentan MP, the actions of the Rawlingses are akin to giving the New Patriotic Party (NPP) salvos to throw back at the NDC.

The MP also added that allegations by the former President that there are traitors in the NDC are vague saying that there is also a possibility of a 'traitor' living close to the former first family.

Kojo Adu-Asare was speaking on Joy FM's news analysis programme, Newsfile which was also shown on Joy News Channel on Multi TV Saturday.

The Adentan MP admonished members of the NDC to start ignoring the Rawlingses who he said will not renege in their 'efforts to disintegrate the fortunes of the NDC'. According to him, he has taken a personal decision not to comment on the actions of the Rawlingses on any media platform again.

According to Adu-Asare, the statement made by the NDC founder J.J. Rawlings at the 30th Anniversary ceremony of the 31st December Women's Movement, clearly reveals that the Rawlingses have a clear plan of severing their relationship with the ruling party hence their claim of ownership of the NDC logo.

Kojo Adu-Asare maintained that with hard work, the Mills-led government can win the December elections without Mr. Rawlings on their campaign trail.

According to the Communications Director of the NPP, Nana Akomea who also appeared on the programme, the divisions in the ruling NDC are so deep that they can not be easily brushed aside as they attempted to do earlier.

Nana Akomea revealed that the cracks in the NDC will lead to a break-away faction forming a political party to contest in the upcoming general elections although members of the NDC will be quick to deny that.
