Adentan NDC In Comatose

Current happenings in the Adentan Constituency branch of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) points to the fact that both the Parliamentary Candidate (PC) and the Constituency Executive have no interest in maintaining the seat which they have held onto for the past eight years.

Constituency Executives likewise the 2016 PC had all gone to into comatose immediately after the party’s parliamentary primaries held on the November 21, 2015.

The dormancy of on the part of the constituency executive and the out of coverage of a relatively known PC had put up the seat which the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) had tried without success on two occasion up for grasp.

Some concerned members of the party who spoke to Today, under condition of anonymity expressed worry about the lack of sense of urgency, seriousness, and direction towards elections 2016.

They are therefore, calling on the Regional and National Executives to whip both PC and the Constituency Executive into action saying the 2016 Presidential and Parliamentary is not a child’s play.

“The lukewarm attitude of the constituency executives and the Parliamentary Candidate especially who is hardly known in the constituency beats human imagination” one of members cried out.

They asked how any mature and serious minded politician can behave the way the NDC PC had portray jus after the parliamentary primaries. What we want them especially the Parliamentary Candidate to understand is that winning the party’s primaries which was full of flops and manipulations is different from national elections.
