NDC has a fantastic team - Asiedu Nketiah declares

Undefeated General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has given a thumbs up to party delegates for electing a “fantastic team” to steer the affairs of the NDC.

The just ended NDC's delegates' congress in Kumasi registered two significant casualties. National Chairman of the party, Dr. Kwabena Adjei lost his position to his vice Kofi Portuphy, whilst the incumbent National Organiser Yaw Boateng Gyan lost out to Kofi Adams.

But in Mr. Asiedu Nketiah's analysis, the current leadership is just a reshuffle of the old stock. Majority of those elected were part of the previous executive, it is just the positions that have changed, he explained.

Kofi Adams for instance was the Deputy General Secretary and Mr. Kofi Portuphy served as a Vice Chairman of the party.

Nonetheless, “it is a fantastic team. I am looking forward to working with them”, he stated.

He indicated that he has no qualms working with any of the elected executives, especially Mr. Kofi Adams as many perceived them to have a frosty relationship.

But after congress, he said the party would have embarked on a “reconciliation process” to unite the party and “hit the road running” as 2016 beckons.

To him, his dedication to his work as well as discharging his duty religiously helped him to retain his position.

Mr. Asiedu Nketiah who is popularly known as General Mosquito described the 82% votes he obtained to beat his sole challenger as the worst results in his last three outings. According to him, he garnered 83% and 93% respectively in his last two contests. Story by Ghana | Myjoyonline.com| Isaac Essel | [email protected] | twitter @isaacessel
