Vetting Of NDC Aspirants For National Executive Positions Ends

The Opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], completed vetting for persons vying to lead the party at the national level on Sunday.

In all, 93 aspirants were vetted, out of which four were disqualified and two voluntarily stepped down.

Sunday in particular, saw the vetting of aspirants for the positions of General Secretary, Vice Chairman and Chairman.

Speaking to Citi News after his vetting, a General Secretary hopeful, Koku Anyidoho, who expressed confidence of unseating the current General Secretary said if given the mandate, he will work hard to secure victory for the party in the next election.

“I Koku Anyidoho, my pledge is to support and see the NDC kick out this fast failing NPP government,” he said.

But Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who is being challenged by Koku Anyidoho said he is unfazed by his opponents.

“It's not going to be a serious contest but because you need to go through the motions that is why we are going through it. I'm confident I will be retained because that is the wish of NDC and Ghana,” Asiedu Nketia noted.

NDC commissions planning committees for national congress

Leadership of the NDC last week commissioned various planning committees in preparation towards its upcoming national congress.

The congress slated for November 3, will see the election of various national executive officers to take over administration of the party into the 2020 elections.

In an interview with Citi News, Kofi Adams, National Organizer of the party, said all is set for the committees to deliver on their mandate.

“The congress committee inaugurated will immediately plan into action. The various committees that have been put in place are calculated to achieve that objective,” he noted.

The party few weeks ago also elected executives to lead the party at the regional level.
