NDC to lose 20,000 votes as CCT vows to vote against government
The ruling National Democratic Congress is on its
way to losing the votes of about 20,000 teachers
who have vowed to vote against the government for
implementing policies that are detrimental to
them.

The teachers who are members of the Coalition of
Concerned Teachers Ghana are protesting government
decision to pay newly recruited teachers only
three months of their salary arrears irrespective
of the number of years the said teachers have
worked.

The teachers also say their promotion arrears has
not been paid yet hence they are calling on all
their members to vote out the government.

Speaking to EIB Network’s Musah Lansah in an
interview after a press conference to make their
intentions known, the Upper West Regional Chairman
of the CCT Alhassan Abdallah Salifu said,” we
are not doing this with a partisan mindset but
based on our convictions as teachers who have not
been treated right”.

According to him, their membership cuts across all
political divide including die hard members of the
ruling NDC.

” It will surprise you to note that the
leadership of the CCT in the upper west region has
some serious members of the NDC among us. We are
interested in ensuring that our members are
treated right”, he told Musah Lansah.

He added that, they will ensure that all their
about 20,000 members vote against the NDC.”How
can I work for over a year only for you to pay me
three months salary?, he quizzed.
