Former National Organizer of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) Yaw Boateng Gyan has said he and other elders of the party have vowed to resist any attempt to allow persons he describes as “small boys” to manage President John Mahama if he should be elected as the Flagbearer of the NDC in the future.
According to him, these small boys who have no political experiece were allowed too much space and authority to ran the show around the President, which contributed to the painful defeat of the NDC in the December 7 polls.
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 arch political opponent has caused some angry and 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.
Young men such as Minister of Communications, Dr Omane Boamah and Stan Dogbe have been mentioned by party members as persons who have surrounded the President and continue block access to the President and giving him false information to keep their positions.
Speaking to Kasapa News, Mr Yaw Boateng Gyan who’s also a former Presidential Staffer, stated that henceforth only veteran politicians will manage the NDC’s future Flagbearer.
“President Mahama is the most marketed person in NDC and if he’ll come back as the Flagbearer, he will not come with those small boys. We’ll not allow those small boys to surround and manage him again. Stan Dogbe and the rest who have no political experience but yet managed President Mahama let the NDC down in this election.”
He added: “We’ll not allow them to disgrace Mahama a second time. We’ve vowed to let these small boys know that there are elders in NDC with vast political experience and they’ll manage our future flagbearer. We have the likes of Kojo Tsikata, Ato Ahwoi, Totobi Kwakye, Iddrisu Mahama and Issifu Ali, these are the people who will work with our next leader. As for these small boys, we’ll fight them. Politics is no child‘s play”,

In 4 years time, those small boys will be grown up men. When did you people realise they're small boys? When Jerry Rawlings was describing them as babies with sharp teeth you same people and the likes of Asiedu Nketia were insulting him and calling him names. Papa J is coming for his party and there's no turning back. When the NDC was losing the elections, the likes of Ofosu Ampofo and Kwaku Anyidohu were holding press conferences to deceive the foot soldiers that they're winning, that was the biggest insult to the party members. You all have yourself to blame in the disunited party.
Oh massa why, let koku, Adams, Omane, Ablakwa, Kwetey, Twum Boafo, Kwakye, Stan Dogbe continue to mislead NDC. That way NPP is guaranteed to win 2020 also
YOU PEOPLE SAID THE MAN IS YOUNG. AND IF HE IS YOUNG THEN WHAT IS WRONG WITH SMALL BOYS MANAGING HIM?
The small boys having tasted and now in opposition would mature in four years and can then manage the President proper. Since they were student when the NDC went into opposition in 2001 and have not therefore experience what it means to loose power, they were 'fooling around'. Buh they would have learn lessons to do things better in 2024.
... babies with sharp teeth ..
So you peoppole knew all this and pretending as if......
But is Boateng Gyan a Big Man? Please you're just wasting our EYES. You insulted Rawlings and Nana Konadu and you think you can now have your way OUT. Wait till Rawlings get his party back. You are one of the babies with sharp teeth.

The ndc party is NOT coming as a sitting government any longer. Okelegbish oooo, we dont care. We opted for an elderly person with sense and that is what we have now, PERIOD. Long live Nana Addo, long live NPP.
