A diplomat in the Mahama administration and a failed parliamentary candidate for Abuakwa North, Victor Smith, believes that an overhaul of the NDC\u2019s executive structure is non-negotiable following the party’s overwhelming defeat in the 2016\u00a0elections.<\/p>\n

Everyone from the General Secretary, Johnson Nketia to the NDC’s Chairman, Kofi Poturphy, must be kicked out at\u00a0the party’s next congress in favour of what Mr. Smith called new “die-hard selfless people.”<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Point Blank<\/strong> segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Mr. Smith\u00a0emphatically that, “we should change the whole guard. We should start with some die-hard selfless people\u2026 I think he [Asiedu Nketia] has been there long enough. We should just clean the stables.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is in spite of the fact that he sees nothing wrong with maintaining former President John Mahama, who led the NDC to its monumental defeat from a position of incumbency.<\/p>\n

\"victor-smith-and-mahama\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He maintained that \u201cif we [the NDC] want to be the ones in the driving seat in 2020, our best bet is the one we put out there already. He [Mahama] did so well but there were some hiccups and that probably led to us losing the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Smith however suggested that, President Mahama may have lost his way when he said the party’s executives “should have helped him [Mahama] more than they did. They had the power as a political party to reign in on the President. I think the party was weak in dealing with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
