Vote Out NDC Executives – Linus
The Former student leader of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) who took the party to
court recently, Njonolah Linus, has called on
delegates to vote massively against all the
current national and regional executives of the
party for victory in 2016.

According to him, undemocratic tendencies and
autocratic leadership
of the party at the regional and national levels,
call for a rebranding of the NDC.

In an interaction with journalists in Kumasi,
Njonolah Linus, who recently made headlines for
placing an injunction on the party’s congress
and regional elections, said the “intolerant
leadership styles” had created disaffection and
despondency among NDC sympathizers.

Several regional and national executive members of
the party are seeking re-election, but the rule of
law crusader believes they do not deserve second
chance for their “dictatorial behaviour” so
that the fortunes of the party would not be
affected in the upcoming general elections.

For him, only fresh hands could bring about the
NDC rebranding project to make the party more
attractive and appealing to all manner of people.

“We need capable and competent people who could
make the NDC the
obvious choice for the marginalized in the
society,” Linus charged and called on the
party’s delegates to heed to his advice.

On Monday, Linus accepted an offer from the NDC
national executives
to end the legal tussle that was centred on
overstay of leaders in office and new election
guidelines that discriminate against some members
of the party who want to contest for various
positions at the regional level.

As part of the agreement, committees would be set
up to oversee and supervise the conduct of the
entire election process so that it would not be
left in the hands of the national and the regional
executive committee.

“I think it is not just my client who won. It is
victory for the entire NDC,” lawyer for the NDC
activist said.

The party has since decided to set up an
independent body to oversee its upcoming
elections.
