Founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), former President Jerry John Rawlings, has expressed serious misgivings about comments made by a flagbearer hopeful of the party and Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin which disparaged the appointment of two persons with disabilities in the last NDC government.
Bagbin reportedly attributed the poor performance of the previous NDC government in the last Presidential and Parliamentary elections to the appointment of the two disabled persons.
The former President who is also the Chairman of the party’s Council of Elders, said the comments of Mr. Bagbin were unacceptable and contrary to the values and principles of social inclusion of the NDC party.
Flt Lt Rawlings emphasized that the ongoing intra party democratic processes taking place are meant to further deepen the democratic credentials of the party and indicated that the National Executive Committee of the Party will have to ensure the full application of the rules and regulations governing campaign utterances and electioneering.
“Such utterances have the tendency to negatively affect the unity and cohesion of the party,” the former President stated.

NDC as a political party has no Tradition and philosophy. Their much touted or acclaimed Social Democrats is a borrowed one. Propaganda, lies, and populism have become a hallmark of the NDC. I can't remember the last time the NDC as a political party contributed ideologically and constructively to a national issue or discourse, except always struggling desperately on polemics and populism as if propaganda is the main opposition party policy. I listened to Mr. Goosie Tanoh and I said wow is this gentleman really, a member of the NDC? In the light of his intellect, credibility, and resolve to impart a positive change, I doubt, he fits in with the membership of the NDC. Is this guy, Ablakwa, not one of the boys with sharp teeth, who only insulted their political opponents to accord them their positions in Government. Babin is right it is only he went off the board with his comments about disables.
NDC HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO. . .
yes, Bagbins attack is not good but I hope this man has not be bought by Mahama with money. i wasw surprised he could not tell him (mahama) in the face to step aside and give others the chance. but will say so indirectly on other platforms. double standards? papa J let me not loose the hope i have in u. nobody could tell that man to give way so others could also get the chance to show what they get. why wont the others attack him? are they scared of mahama? well, whats my own sef. i cannot associate myself with this kind of party that only believes only one person has d quality to lead them. so if mahama dies now, they want to tell me ndc will not exist any more. even mahama himself said that they shd build the party beyond one person and that it is time to relegate the volta god to the backyard. but since they have no brains, they did not understand what he meant.
For the first time in about nine years JJ has finally come to his senses. This is what a statesman does, repudiate everyone who misbehaves not always castigating only mahama and those you don't like. Bravo!
Papa J,this is what some of us expects from you as a Father. God bless you for playing your fatherly role by chastising Hon. Bagbin even though I support him as a flagbearer of the NDC party. I believe, he will do the honourable thing by apologizing to those who have been affected by his utterances. NDC! Eye zu NDC!! Eye za.
I KNOW THAT THIS ***barred word*** MAN CALLED ABAN WAS PAID TO CAUSE CONFUSION IN NDC. IF NOT THAT WHO WILL VOTE FOR SUCH A MAN TO BECOME PRESIDENT. EVEN NANA ADDO IS VERY VERY HANDSOME AND INTELLIGENT THAN HIM. MASTER GO POLISH YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILL AND WAIT FOR 40YEARS IF GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU TO EVEN HAVE A VICE-PRESIDENT TO CHOP. YOU THINK IBI METUSSALAH WEY DEY TAK CHOP PRESIDENT?. IBI GOD FAVOUR. JOHN MAHAMA ALL THE WAY 2020
