Yaw Boateng Gyan,former National Organiser of the NDC

We were more divided than the NPP prior to 2016 polls - Boateng Gyan
A former National Organiser of the main opposition
National Democratic Congress has hinted that the
party was more divided than the New Patriotic
Party ahead of the 2016 elections.

Yaw Boateng Gyan discloses, actors of the NDC
decided to trumpet the then opposition New
Patriotic Party’s internal wranglings rather
than the major crisis that confronted the National
Democratic Congress then in government.

Boateng Gyan speaking to on a wide range of issues
concerning the NDC in an interview with host of
Abusua Nkommo, Kwame Adinkrah.

Boateng Gyan said, “Kwame, believe me…the NDC
was much more divided than the NPP but we
pretended as if all well and decided that talk
about the NPP’s troubles.”

“People who dared to talk publicly about the
party’s challenges were vilified and sidelined,
how were we going to hear diverging opinions
internally,” he asked.

“If we had paid attention to what people, our
own party people were saying, I am telling you the
NDC wouldn’t have been in position by now,” he
revealed.

”The other issue has to do with the way and
manner our people were talking to the
electorates…very arrogant and disrespectful, how
would we have appealed to the voters,” Gyan
added.

“Kwame, some of us couldn’t talk because they
said we have been voted out of the executive
position of the party and so we shouldn’t
talk…a lot of things went wrong,” he said.

“The grassroots of the party were angry because
they were not resourced to work for the party,
rather outsiders and strangers were the enjoying
all the party’s resources for campaigns,” he
said.

“For example, common party bills…the party had
to send people from Accra to come to my hometown
in Sunyani to erect billboards when our own local
people could have been engaged, so they felt
sidelined and so refused to contribute their
energy to the campaign.”

“If you look at all these factors, must you be
told that the party was deeply divided….we were
even lucky the grassroots of the didn’t rise up
in anger against those sent from Accra to fix
campaign materials at the local level,” he
added.
