The national executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have dismissed claims that they are seeking to remain in office indefinitely by delaying the elections for new executives.<\/p>\n
A deputy General Secretary of the party, Kofi Adams on Eyewitness News<\/strong> remarked that when incumbent executives stay longer in office, they end up becoming unpopular.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is even to the disadvantage to the incumbent to keep pushing election further and further back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He noted that the election of new executives was delayed due to the introduction of a biometric system for the registration of all card bearing members of the NDC.<\/p>\n Mr. Adams was however<\/span> unable to give a specific date on which nominations will be opened for national executive positions.<\/p>\n He declared his intention to contest for an executive position when nominations open but<\/span> failed to reveal the position he will be vying for.<\/p>\n According to him, he would have to \u201cdo further consultations because this is a political party so I\u2019m speaking to elders, I\u2019m speaking to supporters across the country. When that is concluded, I will announce.\u201d<\/p>\n The NDC has set October 24\u00a0to 26, 2014 for the election of new national executives to lead the party in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n Before that, the party has scheduled dates for branch elections, constituency elections and regional conferences.<\/p>\n All these are expected to end by October 5, 2014.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
