Then you come to the Minority Leader himself who said: "The people may decide otherwise and you cannot determine it; so the support of those of us on this side of the house is conditional to the fact that DCEs should be elected but they should be elected on partisan lines. That is the principle we will support and walk with...
Mr. Speaker, the pretense must end; all of us here know that clandestinely political parties support district assembly elections in Ghana. It is provided in the constitutional review report and I can read portions of it.
So Mr. Speaker, two principles: amend the constitution, allow for popular elections of DCEs, but do it on the principle of partisanship. We will support that..." Kweku Baako read, adding "I have the video and the audio and he (Minority leader) had loud applause; huge applause.
The Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide was in his elements on Wednesday, as he sought to expose the opposition party's hypocrisy on the latter's decision to opt for a "No" vote in the referendum on the election of MMDCEs on partisan lines.
Earlier this week, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) dared the ruling New Patriotic Party to provide evidence proving that they agreed to campaign for a YES vote in the now aborted referendum.
This was after the NPP had condemned them for asking Ghanaians to vote NO during the referendum.
General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, told OkayFM on Monday that "there was never a consensus on the referendum", and that there was also "no meeting between them (NDC) and the president HE Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo at the Jubilee House".
He thereafter openly branded the President, H.E Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo "a liar" for the latter's comments during a recent national broadcast about the supposed meeting to discuss the referendum.
But Kweku Baako, who was contributing to a panel discussion on Wednesday's edition of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', revealed that apart from what the Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu said in Parliament, there is also empirical evidence in the form of minutes of an IPAC meeting dated 23rd October where the opposition party agreed on a YES vote.

Pls give us a break I thought it was rather partisan election of Assembly members that NDC was against not MMDCE why are people all throwing dust on us. Lord have mercy.
HYPOCRISY, TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL NDC CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. DON'T YOU REMEMBER THEY ONCE SAID IF YOU SEE A BLACK SHEEP, SAY IT IS WHITE. HMMMMMMM THESE PEOPLE WOULD SPIN ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT SOMETHING IN THEIR OWN INTEREST.
NDC! Hmmmmm be consistent
NDC and their Kwaku Ananse lifestyle have been EXPOSED big time.
MASAA YOU SEEN TO BE MORE CONFUSED THEM JOHN MAHAMA AND HIS NDC PARTY. WHERE IN THE STATEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT DID HE LIED. AFTER THE NDC AND THEIR GEN. SEC. ASEIDU NKIATA HAS AGREED TO SUPPORT A PARTISAN MMDCE ELECTIONS AT AN IPAC MEETING AND THE MINORITY LEADER HURUNA AND THE NDC FULLY SUPPORTING IT IN PARLIAMENT AS WELL THE NDC AS USUAL HYPOCRITICALLY HAS MADE A U-TURN ON SOMETHING THEY AGREED ON. NDC IS JUST NOT A TRUSTWORTHY PARTY TO COME INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM.
WE ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE NDC HAVING AGREED TO THAT BUT RATHER CONCERNED THE PRESIDENT EVEN TRIED TO LIE TO US WHEN HE COULD HAVE TOLD US THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REFERENDUM. KWEKU BAAKO, WE ARE SORRY YOU HAVE LOST YOUR RESPECT. NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM YOU ANYMORE.
Kwaku Baako, Ghanaians are tired of your one sided analysis of issues infavour of the NPP. By the way congratulation for working better Kojo Oppong Nkrumah
We must charge NDC WITH CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE
@Kweku Ahinsan: The likes of you are the problem of Ghana not progressing the way we should as a country. It’s shame how some people in both NDC and NPP follow blindly irrespective of how deceitful their leaderships lead them. Now to the issue. I don’t support political party participation in the district and local assembly for now. In future maybe yes. That being said I don’t see the logic in voting for a NO in local assembly elections yet a YES in district or municipal elections. I think NDC is confused. Kweku Baako has exposed their inconsistencies on this issue. It is also clear because of political expediency that’s why there is this U-turn.
This Man is out dated. What Minutes? We know what you are capable of doing. many Ghanians don't believe you any more. They are shocked at your defense of the Akuffo Addo at all times when even the evidence is to the contrary.
