NDC Group Threatens Demo Against National Leadership

A group calling itself the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Coordinating Team in Tamale is threatening to demonstrate against the National executives of the party, if they fail to set a date for constituency and regional elections. According to the group, though the branch elections were held four months ago, nothing is said about constituency and regional elections through out the country. The NDC Coordinating Team has therefore given the national leadership up to the end of January to set a date to conduct the remaining sets of elections or face their wrath. Secretary of the group, Isaka Sadik at a news conference in Tamale Friday, said the NDC risk losing the 2016 elections, if executives are not elected. �The NDC is facing a lot of problems so we need competent people to stir the affairs of the party because some of the current executives have stopped doing the grassroots mobilization to make our party popular�, he intimated. Isaka Sadik feared the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), which has already elected its executives could win majority of the votes in Tamale in the 2016 general election if the national executives don�t step up their game.
