Rancour and acrimony in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will only end when they have a presidential candidate to steer affairs in the party, lecturer with the Baptist University College said.
“They need to hold emergency congress to elect a presidential candidate for the 2020 polls where they will all throw their support behind that person”, Mr. Collins Kankam-Kwarteng suggested
According to him, though the current happenings in the party is normal in every political space but this could break their front if the party’s leadership swiftly do not take steps to manage it.
“It is normal seeing political parties fighting and pointing accusing figures at each other like immediately after leaving power”.
The Marketing Lecturer and Policy Analyst in an interview with the media urged the ruling New Patriotic Party to take lesson from the situation the NDC currently find itself seven month in opposition.
“The NPP should also to manage their issues in their party well especially this time in government. they should tolerate and respect individual views on issues”, Mr. Collins Kankam-Kwarteng counselled.
The country’s largest opposition NDC appears to be on a cross road less than one year in opposition members pointing accusing figures at each other for their hefty lost in the 2012 polls.
They have even gone to a extent of blaming their founder and former President Jerry John Rawlings of clandestinely given corruption message to then opposition NPP which they believe affected their chances of reelection.
But according to the lecturer, the internal wrangling in the party could be managed well if the party holds an earlier congress to elect new executives with skills and competence to lead the party.
