It is indeed sad that finally the internal bickering and personality clashes within the National Democratic Congress has grown into an extent that the party is now finding it extremely difficult to find its feet in the Ghanaian political scene. Is it the founder? Or the leader of the party? Or better still the national executives? These are surely insignificant questions we should be asking now.
In my candid respite, I think the party should immediately embark on certain arbitration procedures now, and try to do everything in ensuring that the founder of the party does not go into hibernation especially at the time that his assistance is most needed.
I am therefore calling on the party national chairman and secretary to consider the following as immediate as possible.
• There should be an emergency congress to immediately amend the constitutional provision that sought to make the president the leader of the party and make the chairman to take that responsibility. This will go a long way to enable the chairman of the party to wield power to commence arbitration procedures into the concerns raised by the founder of the party and also mediate between the founder of the party and the party in government.
• This arbitration process should be open to all party members to know the progress of events as far as the peace process is concerned.
• There should be an immediate termination of any forms of arbitration between the founder and chiefs from the Volta region.
• The president should also as a matter of urgency call on the founder of the party in public for all of us to know the level of cordiality that the president told us still exist between him and the founder of the party.
• All fellow communicators, both government and party level must immediately put a stop to discussing and further aggravating the situation to benefit their selfish and self-seeking egoistic interest and allow the chairman of the party to mediate between the founder and the government.
• The founder and all parties involved in this matter must also show commitment towards the peace process and no one should take an entrench position.
Let’s not forget that there is no way we can do away with each other as far as this year’s election is concerned. We should not also forget that many people sacrificed their lives for the NDC to come to where we are today because of the unity that existed in the party prior to the 2008 general elections. It is not too late to turn a newer world let’s do the right thing to ensure collective force during and after the December polls.
