A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Kukubor, has advised party\u2019s National Executives to listen more to the concerns of the party members rather than try to gag them after the party\u2019s election defeat.<\/p>\n
According to him, the concerns of the members must be accepted in good fate to help the party strategize for the next elections.<\/p>\n
The National Organizer on the NDC, Kofi Adams, earlier last week called on party members not to express publicly comment on what may have led to the party\u2019s defeat, but resort to the special fact-finding committee by Prof. Kwesi Botchwey, set up to establish the cause of the defeat.<\/p>\n
But speaking on The Big Issue, Mr. Kukubor said, it was understandable that some members are resorting to the media to vent and \u00a0blame some individuals within the party and that they must be allowed to do so to enable the fact-finding-committee get useful information.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will humbly plead that the executives rather listen more than talk because people are not happy on the ground, people are frustrated because we\u2019ve gone into opposition.. about 3 months. Emotionally some are yet to settle and accept the fact that we are in opposition. This is the time that I will plead with the national executives that they should listen more and talk less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He applauded the national executives for the decision to allow a committee investigate its loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the best option we have put in place is that the committee trek the country and gather the information scientifically because we might all know the reason why the party lost, but the only way we can come up with proper planning and action plan to win in 2020 is when we gather that information\u00a0in a scientific manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In spite of the existence of the committee some members of the party been pointing accusing fingers at others members as being responsible for the party\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n
The NDC Member of Parliament for Yunyoo in the Northern Region, Joseph Bipoba Naabu, recently blamed former President John Mahama for their electoral defeat.<\/p>\n
According\u00a0to him, the former President surrounded himself with inexperienced people who misled him.<\/p>\n
