The Northern Regional Organiser of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Godfred Wumbei has predicted a defeat for the party’s General Secretary, Asiedu Nketsia in the upcoming congress.<\/p>\n
According to Wumbei, Asiedu Nketsia has not shown enough commitment to merit the endorsement of party members.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”uQxE9TH5Q4sDnIrTKXDl3iAbiXai40BE”]\u201cThe party is not his liability company that he can use it as his own company\u2026he is an aspirant and he has never made an attempt to see the region, to see how we are faring, to see what is happening on the ground and he wants us to vote and retain him?I don\u2019t think that will happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
An unknown Abdullah Ishaq Farrakhan of the Obuasi Constituency office of the party will be contesting Asiedu Nketsia.<\/p>\n
Farrakhan is so far the only member of the party who is contesting Asiedu Nketsia, who was initially expected to go unopposed.<\/p>\n
Vote old executives out of office<\/strong><\/p>\n Godfred\u00a0 Wumbei \u00a0has also urged delegates in the Northern Region to vote all the old executives out of office.<\/p>\n According to him, the old executives are lazy and could cause the party to lose the 2016 general election.<\/p>\n In an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the Northern Regional Organiser of the party, Godfred\u00a0Wumbei insisted the party needs a new leadership to retain power in 2016.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026None of the national executives have come to their constituencies to see how they are faring. There wasn\u2019t any outreach programme that was introduced by the old executives and I think it was big blow to us,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf President John Dramani had not worked extra hard the party would have been in trouble and that is why I am calling all the delegates in the Northern Region to kick out all the old executives and replace them with new ones\u2026 we don\u2019t need the lazy ones, we want the hardworking and those who are competent to win power in 2016,\u201d Wumbei added.<\/p>\n The NDC\u2019s much anticipated national delegates congress comes off in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, on December 20, 2014.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
