Reform Movement dead in Tema - NDC

Tema (Greater Accra), 25 March ?99 ?

The Tema East constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said yesterday that the party is now firmly rooted in the constituency usually described as the base of the Reform Movement.(RM).

Mr Mashood Mumuni, the NDC constituency chairman, said "we have killed the Reform Movement in Tema East, and we are rebuilding the NDC to recapture the parliamentary seat from the opposition". Mr Mumuni told reporters that the NDC in the constituency, is no longer part of the Reform Movement. He said cadres who deserted the party in the wake of the formation of the RM are now coming back in their numbers. He therefore called on those still flirting with the break-away reform group to "return home."

Mr Mumuni said the party is drawing up a programme to re-organise all cell wards and branches to enable them improve upon the results of the last elections even though the NDC won the presidential elections in the constituency. Mr Mumuni also congratulated the first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings for showing concern for the party's activities in the constituency.
