[contextly_sidebar id=”JxPc9NL5bGtbxpLKW4bN1wjPsC7QPBia”]Following the NDC\u2019s defeat in the December 2016, there appear to be pockets of disgruntled members divided over who was responsible for the party\u2019s defeat.<\/p>\n

The National leadership of the party tasked a special Committee led by Prof. Kwesi Botchwey to tour the country to listen to concerns of party members after it was evident the many of the party\u2019s supporters were not happy with the results of the election.<\/p>\n

The party has also undertaken 3 Unity Walks in Accra, Tamale and Cape Coast as part of the healing process.<\/p>\n

The 10 regional chairmen of the party, under whose leadership the party suffered the electoral defeat believe the former President\u2019s \u201cthank you tour\u201d will help in such efforts to ensure peace and unity within the party ahead of the 2020 polls.<\/p>\n

Regional chairman back Mahama for 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a meeting with the former President on Thursday, the chairmen urged John Mahama to consider calls for him to contest the party\u2019s primaries and represent it as flagbearer in the 2020 general elections<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In its communiqu\u00e9 after the meeting, it said, \u201cAt a meeting held today, Thursday November 09, 2017, in Cantonments, Accra with HE John Dramani Mahama, former President of the Republic of Ghana, we the ten (10) regional chairpersons of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have:<\/p>\n
