A new think tank, the Crusade for Probity and Accountability, has demanded the resignation of all the National Democratic Congress (NDC) national executives\u00a0for overseeing the worst defeat of a sitting government under Ghana’s fourth republic.<\/p>\n

The group’s argument is that, since the NDC leadership took credit for past election successes, they should equally take responsibility for failing the party at the grass roots level.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the interest of the party, the national leadership should offer the best Christmas gift to the party especially its grassroots supporters by communicating to the council of elders their decisions to step aside en bloc at the earliest day possible,\u201d the Convener of the group, Dr. Kwesi Djokoto, said at its inaugural press conference today [Wednesday].<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know what influences the judgment of leadership but it was very clear that the perspective they held and the reality were miles apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said the resignation of the party executives “will trigger the much-needed inquest into activities at the branch, constituency, regional and national level that led to the miserable defeat.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Djokoto said the expected party congress for soul searching would eventually come around,but insisted that the party leadership also lacked perspective and could not be trusted to hold an objective inquiry into the party’s failings.<\/p>\n

“This is unacceptable because no one should sit in judgment, or decide who sits in judgment of its own performance especially when the\u00a0outcome of the performance is abysmal.\u201d<\/p>\n
