The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has led a team of National Executives and other party elders of the party to ‘quench the Asawase internal fire’.
On Thursday, January 12, 2023, the team led various reconciliation meetings in the Ashanti Region as the party gears up to recapture power in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
The delegation engaged in a constructive dialogue with the Ashanti Regional Executives, Members of the Ashanti Caucus, Regional Council of Elders and other identified groups.
The National Chairman addressed the media after the meetings and said calm had been restored, adding that every feuding party had resolved to vote for the NDC.
Other senior party elders, including Kofi Totobi Quakyi and Col. Rtd. Larry Gbevlo Lartey were part of the team.
The delegation also included other National Executives, such as the General Secretary, Fifi Fiave Kwetey, Deputy General Secretary, Barbara Serwaa Asamoah and Deputy National Organizer, Kobby Barlon. Also present at the meeting were Chairmen from eight other Regions.
BACKGROUND
Some concerned supporters of the NDC in the Asawase Constituency had accused the Member of Parliament for the area, Muntaka Mubarak of sowing discord in the party.
The new constituency chairman of the NDC is alleged to have been ignored by the legislator in all of his activities, which the group claims are unethical and against party rules.
But the Asawase Youth Front denied every allegation brought against the MP.
The group’s spokesperson, Ali Issah, said the legislator is the best candidate to guide the party to victory in the constituency in 2024.
