The Chairman of the National Democratic Party(NDP), Dr Josiah Aryeh has said the NDP has not considered joining its mother party, the NDC yet.<\/p>\n

The former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings left the NDC two years ago to form the NDP, a year after the Kumasi Congress that elected the late President Mills as flagbearer.<\/p>\n

Mrs Rawlings formed the party\u00a0in 2012 after she lost the flagbearship race of the NDC in 2012.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the NDC congress on Saturday, former President, Jerry Rawlings called on the party to consider recalling Mrs Rawlings to join the NDC.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLet us invite our mother Nana Konadu to come back home. I hope she can hear us, I hope she can see us but then again, can you blame her? he said.<\/p>\n

He said although his wife left the party in 2012 to form her own party, she cannot be blamed for her decision to leave.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”4PB9WMMzBnofF51nTA9arnmQF6HnpR95″]However, Dr Aryeh, in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> said it has \u201cnever been on the NDP\u2019s agenda\u201d to return to the NDC.<\/p>\n

He said if the NDC has considered calling the NDP back , the party[NDP] members have to hold a meeting and collectively agree as to whether to return or not.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026We believe in plurality of opinions and we have to take decisions collectively. If it comes to a particular point, or landmark or junction, or juncture where we must take a decision, we will take that decision collectively democratically.If former President thinks that is they way to go\u2026his opinion is respected\u2026we have to also consider it within a meeting and come to a collective decision,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
