The defeat of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the just-ended presidential and parliamentary elections could largely be attributed to the demeanour of some government appointees, Victor Kojoga Adawudu, a private legal practitioner and member of the NDC, has said.
Apart from the demeanour of the appointees, he said issues relating to premix fuel that were not properly addressed may have also accounted for the defeat of the NDC.
The EC on Friday December 9 announced that the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), now president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, got 53 per cent of total votes to beat President John Dramani Mahama and five other candidates to become the next president.
Speaking on Metro TV in connection with the NDC’s defeat, Mr Adawudu said: “More works have to be done [on why the NDC lost]; one of the things I also feel will be the demeanour of some of the appointees, but we need to do research and find out, reorganise, and know the issues.
“Premix was one of the issues that we suffered. I was in the Western Region, I was in the Central Region during the election … because I have to monitor, and when I went to almost all the coastal communities, one of the issues that came out was about premix. These are the issues that were there but not well managed.”

what did u guys do about it, all u did was to spend big time money in propaganda adv and use the rest to buy votes. we all saw what happened in 2012 elections after ur party had lied to us to get our vote all u did was to increase taxes , utilities , took decision which never looked at the commoner. u sign deals with IMF just because u want to go for loans little handout u will get from them.took away little allowances from teachers and nurses. we are very aware of what we want and mind u we looking at our condition now and see what changes will come with it then will decide on next election . Politicians be aware !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this contradictory theory? Who appointed these "government appointees"? Is it not the president? As their manager, doesn't President Mahama have the responsibility to make sure that his own appointed officials perform? Or President Mahama did not know that it is the performance of his appointees that aggregate into his own performance? Please, Victor Kojoga Adawudu, respect our intelligence 'small'. President Mahama was simply incompetent. He was just a nice guy, he was not a presidential material.
They should not forget Montie 3 is part of their lost... floating voters saw that also..
i find it very difficult to understand politicians they only listen when in opposition. why do u have to wait till u are in opposition b/4 u become so sober and listen u cld have done this power was with u
Massa; I wonder why some of these ediotic NDC fulls seems to be putting the blame on the appointees of the NDC when they knew that these erratic ***barred word*** and arrogance were all planned within the NDC by Jon Mahama and Asiedu Nketia ;WHAT ARE THEY COMPLAINING ABOUT !!!!!!!!! how can you sow maize and at the end harvest bananas ; the NDC as a party was founded on toxic arrogance; lies and stilling with no clear ideology ; their founder JJ Rawlings is a KROOK and a thiff ; today this arrogant thiff is running around telling Nana Addo to fight corruption ; something he perpetuated in the PNDC /NDC ; at least we know the NPP has some ideology of business and property owning democracy ; but to date NDC as a party has no clear ideology ; WHAT DOES THE NMDC STAND FOR IN SOCIETY -ONLY STILLING AND INFLATING OF CONTRACT INVOICES !!!!!! ; all they do is groom their arrogant appointees to shout like parrots on riof tops ; they behave like chameleons ; still and turn black into white and the more an appointee can abuse pastors and the public and shout on roof tops the more the party loves that appointee; do you think the Ghanaians did not notice that or do you think ;Asiedu Nketia ; Jon Mahama and those elders-Totobikwakye ; Kodzo Tsikata ; in the NDC did not know what was going on ; look at the way Omane Boama behaves like a fisherman as if he has the balls and muscles to fight anybody ; the truth is that most NDC appointees were weaklings but presented themselves as some macho men on TV forgetyting that they were miniters of state; some of them including Felix Kwakye ; Fifi Kwettey; adams ; koku just spoke from their backside gassing Ghanaians with their toxic gas ; people like KOPku did not even wash or clean their mouths nbefore they spoke to the media .
The arrogance of the following People caused the downfall of NDC, Koku Anyidoho, Kofi Adams, Kojo Twum Boafo, Felix Kwakye ofosu, Omane Boamah, Fiifi Kwetey and Stan Dogbe. I wonder why the President surrounded himself with such Pompous Characters
