The arrogant posture of some of the communicators of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) even in opposition, if not checked, will keep the party in opposition for a lengthy spell, Professor Ransford Gyampoh, a senior lecturer at the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana, has warned.
According to him, it appeared some communicators of the main opposition party had not shed the arrogance that culminated in their party’s exit from government following last year’s polls.
Speaking on the recent recriminations within the NDC over who caused the party’s loss in 2016, Prof Gyampoh, in an interview with Class 91.3FM’s Emefa Apawu on Thursday March 23, said: “The NPP as a political party in government is just about implementing its campaign promises and if they succeed in doing so very well, the NDC will have a difficulty, they will remain in opposition for long.
“Before the elections of 2016, there were so many allegations of corruption that were levelled against some party officials of the…NDC and I am sure the NPP will put in place measures to investigate some of these allegations and send people to jail. The more party officials and appointees soil their image by being found culpable of corruption, the longer the party will remain in opposition.
“Again, listening to some party communicators, it appears they do not seem remorseful of their display of arrogance in their public utterances that contributed to their defeat. The more they go this way, the longer they will remain in opposition. So, in my view, there are so many things that are now currently working against them and there are so many things that they will have to work hard to surmount. They cannot afford to allow some of these comments coming from some top echelons of the party to also deepen the cracks and inflame passions against the party structures.”

Some people like you Kwesi you are also part of the NDC defeat in the Election. When the then Government was pursuing on Hardship policies for the Ordinary Ghanaians, you (affiliated NDC Papers) were then praising the Government. No matter was people were saying you (Bernard Monah,Kwesi Pratt, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, Ablakwa, O. Boamah, Agbenyo, F. Kwertey etc) were supporting the Government. As at now the NPP Government is in talks with Businesses wants rreduction in prices of goods and services due to the reduction or scabbing of TAXES. Free SHS is also on the way coming to happen LIFE and CLEAR in Ghana. When even Half of NPP promises are fulfilled, it will take NDC or new Party some years to come to power.
Have someone seen a pregnant woman with her big belle at 9 months becoming as 1 or 2 months belle. The massive propaganda and lies from NDC activists are manifesting in their own behavior. Have we forgotten Baba Jamal's statement saying if they see a goat they should say it I cow. These are some of the fruits of the tree they planted.
