NDC CAN NEVER WIN ELECTIONS IN GHANA IF WE VOTE YES ~ ASIEDU NKETIA
The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia made some interesting points in relation to their decision to abandon the YES ship to pitch camp with the NO boat in an interview monitored by dikoder. Com
He also offers us a glimpse into the reasons behind their sudden U-turn with respect to the decision to have MMDCEs elected on party lines.
To him, political parties struggle to raise funds to sponsor Parliamentary candidates in elections, so adding the local level elections to this would make it highly impossible for opposition parties to win elections.
This, he intimated, would give the party in power an undue advantage and make Ghana a one-party state, making it difficult for a party like the NDC to come back to power.
His point is that a party in power can easily mobilize funds to prosecute elections unlike those in opposition.
A cursory analysis of this admission by Asiedu Nketia manifestly suggests that the NDC has chickened out of the YES train because they feel allowing MMDCEs to be voted on party lines would be detrimental to the survival of the NDC.
What still remains a mystery is why the NDC supported the YES vote all this while when armed with this information.
When did it dawn on them that they could be kept on the sidelines of opposition if they supported the YES campaign?
