Former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Joseph Yamin, has urged members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to desist from playing the blame game following the party’s defeat in the December 7 elections.
According to him, the NDC will be doing itself a great disservice if it continues to publicly point accusing fingers at some members, as others may be forced to open the Pandora’s box.
The NDC lost last Wednesday’s general polls, both Presidential and Parliamentary in an election that the party was so confident of winning, due to the massive infrastructural development carried out by President John Mahama in his first term of office.
But on Friday, December 9, 2016, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei, declared the NPP’s presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo winner and President-elect of the Republic of Ghana.
The opposition leader polled 5,716, 026 votes to beat the incumbent President John Dramani Mahama who garnered 4,713,277 votes out of the 10,615,361 valid votes cast.
The NDC’s painful defeat suffered at the hands of its bitterest political opponent has caused some disappointed members including former Ejusi Juaben, Municipal Chief Executive to mention names of certain key party and government officials whose actions and inactions they claim caused the NDC’s downfall.
However, speaking on Okay FM, Joseph Yamin, who is a former Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC and currently, the Deputy National Coordinator of NADMO, called for restraint among members as the party does an introspection.
“This is an eye opener for us as a political party, we need to re-organize ourselves as soon as possible. To me, I’ll advise Yamoah Ponkoh and others to stop dropping names of people they accuse of causing NDC’s defeat. If we sit down in a room and have a discussion over the matter, there’ll be a lot for me to say. In an enclosed place, if we have to beat someone for causing this painful defeat that we have suffered, we’ll do so. But to wash our dirty linen in public, I think that we’ll not be doing ourselves any good.”

Fiifi kwetey once said that Ghanaians behaved liked "kindergarten kids"
this Lebanese bastard was sitting on badwam boasting that if NDC lost the elections he would give his pick up truck (which we all know he secured from government coffers)to omanhene. Can we just deport this guy already? thank you.
Yamin beat yourself for you were part of the problem.Do you remember your arrogance before the World Cup?As if you had the whole world in your hands.
GOOD FOR NOTHING GUY YOU SHOULD THE THE CAR THAT YOU BET ON.ANU MU GWA NKOOOOOAAAAA
Look Yamin, the impression your party created was that all was well within your party and rather accused the NPP of being disorganized. Even with the alleged disorganised party the NPP was able to hand you a very humiliating defeat and you have started fighting amongst yourself because majority of your appointees were extremely ARROGANT. Mention, Omane Boamah, Koku Anyidoho, Namoale, Felix Ofosu-Kwakye, Fiifi Kwetey etc.
If there are people that the NDC must beat then Yamin u will be the first, instead of marketing JM u were rather betting with ur car and talking non***sense that ashanti's wont disappoint JM, u have a poor political background so start beating urself first cos u will stay in opposition forever
I laf inter JM Onaapo Dubai interchange hahahaheheheh kikiki.
That NDC lost should not surprise anyone.Elections in Ghana will never be the same from now on as Judge Dotse put it.Who could have foreseeing that Ketu South that recorded over 77,000 votes in 2012 for fiifi Kwetey and NDC can only garner 48,000 in 2016?.With all eyes open and so many loopholes being plugged up,fiddling with figures has become very difficult if not impossible and to win through the so called ways and means is simply something of the past..
But u were part of Brazil cabal
