The Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has said his party is not intimidated by the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary candidates elected in their recent primaries.
NPP went to the polls on Saturday and elected parliamentary candidates to represent it in the various constituencies in the 2016 elections.

But Koku Anyidoho, in an interview with Citi News rejected the claims.
He posited that the NDC would have to finish its parliamentary primaries before such comparisons can be made.
“We will also go through our primaries and hopefully come out of it much more stronger… and bring in, the forces that we think will help us battle in 2016. So theirs [NPP] have come and gone and ours too is coming up.”
Koku Anyidoho said “there is nothing heroic about what happened on Saturday, its democracy, its been going on since 1992 and it will be so as long as we decide that we want to continue with this level of democracy.”
“But nothing of the NPP side will scare us…. We know that there is disunity in their camp and that is what we would pick lessons from.”
