Ex-Deputy Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, Alhaji Kwadwo Maama Adam has said that the electoral defeat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has provided the party with "a cleansing opportunity" to purge itself of self-seeking individuals and return it to a position of strength to win the next elections.
He said the defeat would strengthen rather than weaken the party because it is providing Ghanaians the opportunity to compare the administration of the past and the present governments and make the people to appreciate the achievements of the NDC.
"This is because the NPP with all its grandiose electoral promises can never match the development record of the NDC."
Alhaji Adam, who is the Secretary of the Regional Reorganisation Committee of NDC, was addressing a forum attended by members of the party at Bechem.
The forum discussed critical party and national issues and elected a seven-member re-organisation taskforce for the Tano North and Tano South constituencies.
Alhaji Adam said the NPP government is bound to fail because it could never fulfil its campaign promises and it is imperative that the NDC puts its house in order to "pluck victory in four years time".
"We must exhibit absolute transparency and internal democracy so as to bring back into the fold those, who left in anger because of the imposition of certain people and ideas in the past."
Alhaji Adam said additionally, members must now accept to pay dues regularly if the party is to survive and win the next elections.
The constituency reorganisation taskforce, he said, is not to supplant the existing executives but to reactivate the branches in preparation for regional and national conferences later in the year.
Mr. Mohammed Doku and Mr D. K. Anto, both members of the Regional Committee, said about 10 constituency branches of the taskforce have been inaugurated and urged members to work hard.
