Ofosu-Ampofo-led NDC in tatters - Kwamena Duncan

Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by its National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, is in tatters.

According to him, the NDC leadership is a bunch of confused people.

Hon. Kwamena Duncan was commenting on recent comments by the NDC flagbearer and former President, John Dramani Mahama that the party will reject results of a flawed elections by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Mr. John Mahama, speaking to the party members and supporters at their 28th anniversary, served notice to the EC ahead of the December polls saying "as leader of the NDC, I wish to serve notice that we shall do all our parts to ensure that our country remains peaceful and that the electoral process proceeds smoothly, but let nobody assume that we will accept the results of a flawed elections."

The former President, according to Kwamena Duncan, also says the NDC will "police the ballot box boot for boot".

Meanwhile, the NDC National Chairman has also ordered their members and supporters not to participate in the upcoming mass registration exercise for reason being that the atmosphere in the country is not conducive for the exercise.

"We say no to the new register and even if Parliament passes the legislation we will not accept it. We are not just against it because they will not accept the old voter card but because the whole atmosphere in the country is not conducive," he said.

Contributing to Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' on Wednesday, Mr. Duncan asserted that the "Ofosu Ampofo-led NDC today is in tatters" and wondered how the party expects their members to vote in the general elections.

"Leadership that only exudes confusion . . . You have your Presidential candidate talk about policiing the ballot box boot for boot at every level, then the party Chairman says he will not allow his people to go and register. So, who will then go and cast the ballot?" he quizzed.

To him, the NDC leadership is conditioning their members to reject the election results when former President John Mahama loses.

"The implication from such statements is somehow preparing the minds of his supporters that if it doesn't go my way, that I see the outcome as a flawed one and that, all of you, as I have already said, as I have made the pronouncements five months ago; we're not going to accept this. It's preparation of their minds," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.

"You're policing the ballot boot for boot and when you finish, and the results come out; how are you going to call it? That if it favors you that it will not be considered flawed and if it doesn't favor you, that's when you'll call it flawed?" he further questioned.
