Action Movement, a pro-NDC group says the NDC will lose in the 2020 elections

NDC will flop in 2020 polls - Group
The performance of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) in the 2020 presidential and
parliamentary elections will be more abysmal than
what transpired in the 2016 polls, if the critical
issues affecting the party are not addressed
immediately, Kwadwo Hamenya Keglo, spokesperson of
the Action Movement, a pro-NDC group, has said.

According to him, in the lead-up to last year’s
polls, there were several problems that were
identified pointing to the poll results the party
eventually had, however party executives swept
them under the carpet, allowing those matters to
fester, hence the NDC’s defeat.

He has, therefore, urged the top hierarchy of the
NDC to allow party members to vent their
frustrations in spite of the formation of the
Professor Kwesi Botchwey-led committee tasked to
investigate the causes of the party’s massive
defeat.

Speaking in an interview with Chief Jerry Forson,
host of Ghana Yensom, on Accra100.5FM on Tuesday
March 28, Mr Keglo said: “We the group have not
attacked John Mahama, the former president, and it
is not in our hands to elect the next candidate.
Our candidate will be elected by the party, so if
the party says that the former president is the
best candidate we will all move along with him.

“We are just alerting him on few things that led
to our defeat in the election and that if we
don’t address them and we keep quiet, we will
suffer. Look at the 2016 elections, everybody
thought that we had won so things that were
supposed to be done were not done. If we keep
quiet again, 2020 will be worse and we don’t
want that to happen in the 2020 elections the way
2016 happened to us.

“We don’t want that anymore and so we have to
talk about the issues in public. Let me stress
that because we refused to put issues in the
public domain we had the results that we had in
2016. Everybody became quiet, the party was not
doing what it was supposed to do to lead us to win
the 2016 elections, yet people were quiet. We are
all party members and we think that we have to
talk about our issues in a friendly manner so that
everybody will know what to do and do it very
well.”
