(Saturday) National Delegates’ Congress of the
ruling NDC, the incumbent general secretary,
Johnson Asiedu Nketia has stated.
According to him, the move is to save time and
allow the various arrangement made for the
congress to move smoothly.
Speaking to the media at the Baba Yara Sports
Stadium -venue for the congress – Friday,
Generel Mosquito as he is popularly called, said
most of the initial protocol arrangements made for
the congress have been cancelled.
“For the first time in the history of this
party, we are coming into elections with as many
as 70 candidates, that tells you about the
buoyancy of internal democracy in this party.
“Because of the huge number of candidates, it
has been decided by the electoral committee that
no opportunity will be granted to the various
candidates to address the delegates before the
voting takes place, for we are having to work with
time constraints”.
He added: “The addresses of Ministers of key
ministries have also been taken out because there
is no luxury of time”.
“However, the various candidates will be
introduced and their various numbers on the ballot
paper will be mentioned”. Source - Starrfmonline
