Chase Out Flagbearer Hopefuls If They Campaign – Kofi Adams

The National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Mr. Kofi Adams has urged members of the party to chase anyone who comes to seek their support in the general elections.

He bemoaned that their action will destabilize and destroy the party before it opens nominations for the flagbearership contest.

The likes of second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, former National Health Insurance Authority boss, Sylvester Mensah and prof. Joshua Alabi have declared their intention to contest the flagbearership race.

“Our party members need support and we are asking them to come and support the party and stop what they are doing destabilising the party and destructing focus at the time we should be exposing all the maladministration in the NPP, what we are talking about is who is doing what in the NDC because some of these persons find it convenient to farm such things on various media platforms,” he told Accra-based Joy FM Wednesday.

He said the party does not know any presidential aspirant and that its focus is to reorganise the party ahead of the opening of nominations to allow for candidates to contest for various positions in the party including the flagbearership slot.

He continued: “I don’t recognise anybody as any hopeful. I recognize party members. We are appealing to them if they really love the party…those who are going around constituency to constituency and speaking to my party people…those who come around you to come and meet you and present themselves that they want to be flag bearers chase them out. That is not what we are doing now.”

When asked if that applies to former president John Mahama; Mr. Adams stressed, “I’m saying that if he [Mahama] ever goes anywhere to go meet party executives and present himself that he wants to run he should be chased out.” He added.
