There was confusion at the Tamale Sports Stadium in the Northern Region when the committee set up by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to ascertain the cause of the party’s defeat in the 2016 elections met members of the party.
Daily Guide gathered that some supporters and executives of the party allegedly attributed the NDC’s defeat in last year’s elections in the region to the Regional Chairman, Sofo Azorka, accusing him of keeping motorbikes, money and other materials meant for the 2016 campaign.
They claimed the materials, which were supposed to be shared among the constituencies, were still in the custody of the chairman.
Chief Sofo Azoka, who got angry, dared other members who accused him of keeping the materials, leading to the hot exchanges, using unprintable words.
The misunderstanding resulted in the throwing of chairs and other objects at the venue.
Some bigwigs of the NDC, who graced the occasion, were former deputy ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Hajia Hawawu Boya Gariba; former District Chief Executives (DCEs); Alhaji Hudu Yahaya, a member of the Committee; National Research Officer of the party, Abu Razak and Tamale Metro Health Insurance Manager, Abdul Salam.
Daily Guide learnt that the chairman of the fact-finding committee, Dr Kwesi Botchwey, was conspicuously absent, even though words had gone round that he was expected.
The meeting finally ended inconclusively following the hot exchanges between Chairman Azoka and some aggrieved stalwarts of the party, who accused him of bad leadership during the electioneering campaign.
The committee had encountered similar challenges in other regions.
Ex-President John Rawlings had stated that though there were clear signs ahead of the general elections that the NDC would lose the elections, the party ignored them.
According to him, the NDC lost the elections way before December 7, because it chose to “persistently and unrepentantly stay on the slippery slope.”
President Nana Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) polled 5,716,026 votes, representing 53.85 percent to beat John Dramani Mahama of the NDC, who had 4,713,277 votes, representing 44.40 percent.
The NDC set up the 13-member committee to investigate why it was so overwhelmingly defeated in the December 2016 general elections.

Now it is clear that confusion is a characteristic feature of parties in opposition especially those that have been in power before. It is not NPP or NDC. It about about being in opposition and the pain of it.

COME ON NOW JOHN.
Ndc go find job to earn a living and stop this animaaaalistic ways since it won't help you. You lost because you treated Ghana As An Island And concentrated only on selected ndc members, you gave favors to your cronies and friends only. You treated Ghanaians as prisoners of war (POW) and you insulted anyone who dared criticize your behaviour including men of God and chiefs you were power drunk and showed power and strength to the people of Ghana with arrogance,you stole from the people and intimidated them not to talk,school feeding was left unpaid,teachers and nurses were left unpaid,teacher and nurse trainee allowances were cancelled with impunity, Doctors were left unpaid and some civil servants the same everything in the country was left in a mess only ndc could enjoy even farmers and fisher folks weren't left out and ndc government was the most to borrow in the name of the country with nothing to show, what kind and type of government was that and you thought Ghanaians were so stup*d you could use those motor bikes to go round to convince them? You might be kidding! The people voted you out to show to you they ain't st*pid and you can't take them for granted. You can ***barred word*** some of the people for some time but you can't full all of the people all of the time. The Ghanaian people were angry,they were hungry no jobs and unemployment was unprecedented,they were over taxed, public institutes were selective in employing the youth which led people to be aggrieved and in short Ghanaians didn't like ndc and they waited patiently for the Dec.7th to send you away and it was clear on the walls. Stop accusing your leaders for you all were part of it,while they were ste*ling from the state you were using your party is in power to intimidate the people. Ghanaians aren't fo*ls and they've taught you sense. Ndc is not attractive to Ghanaians and you will stay in opposition untill you disentegrate.
Opposition is really hell paa, NDC
This corrupt and greedy NDC party is finished... They think they can buy the conscious of some with money and cars and win elections.... It did not work for them. We are all becoming wiser. They will remain in opposition forever..... John Mahama presidency was a wasted time for the nation as a whole. He has achieved nothing. He borrowed huge amount of money from all coners of the world to put up inflated projects. thifs
