The crushing defeat the NDC suffered in the 2016 general elections has thrown the party; the leadership as well as the rank and file of the party in disarray.
Already, there have been calls from the grassroots of the party to demand accountability and stewardship from various functionaries of the party who were purported have been given resources to work with but failed. These calls have partly contributed to the formation of a task force chaired by Dr Kwesi Botchwey to research into what caused the humiliating defeat of the NDC in the 2016 general elections. The findings of the Kwesi Botchwey Committee would point to significant things that can help make or break the NDC.
The recent scandal in Parliament generated by the Honourable Minority NDC Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga is just one manifestation of the majoring silent issues confronting the NDC. Again, the Hon. Joes Ghartey Committee would expose the real issues involved in the wild allegations that have led to its formation.
So far, there appear to be a struggle for the leadership of the Party in so many ways. The lines along which the struggle for the soul of the NDC would further deepen the already tired looking major opposition party. Aside the wont camps of Rawlings, Ahwoi, Tsikata camps, there have emerged the Mahama camp and surely emerging Haruna Iddrisu camp who heads the party in Parliament.
Some political pundits TNF spoke to expressed fear that the internal bickering in the NDC if not properly handled could lead to a very weak and divided opposition in Parliament. A weak and divided Minority in parliament would have adverse consequences on nation building and Parliamentary development.
“Ghana needs a united NDC to offer constructive criticism to the NPP administration. We cannot settle for anything less.” Said a political historian.
