Konadu Party Out...Presidency In Shock

Today is likely to see an end to months of speculations about the formation of a new political party, the National Democratic Party (NDP), by elements in the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Information gathered by the Daily Guide and confirmed by the Electoral Commission indicates that some founding members of the yet to be launched party stormed the EC Office yesterday to present details of the NDP. They will pick up their forms from E.C today. Reports reaching Daily Guide indicate that the development has come as a shock to the presidency. It is believed that most of the founding members of this party are disgruntled members of the NDC who have left the ruling party out of frustration and the neglect of the core values and principle of the NDC.

The delegation was said to include Dr. Kwasi Ofei-Agyeman , former NDC parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso central. Dr. Rockson Mamboi and one Mr. Tetteh, all associates of former First Lady and President of the 31st December Womens Movement (DWM), Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings. Nana Konadu was also a vice chairman and vied for the flagbearership slot of the NDC against President Atta Mills.

According to the source, they were waiting for the EC to issue them with an official announcement at a press conference at a location in Accra when granted. The party has its logo; a flying bird similar to the one on top of the famous umbrella of the NDC, using the same black, green, red and white colours as the ruling party. The only difference is that the bird, a dove in the NDP logo, is holding on to the Gye Nyame Symbol with the motto Justice, Unity, Peace and Progress. It is believed that Mrs Rawlings is behind the formation of the new party. What is not certain is whether former President Rawlings, who has virtually become a stranger in the party he founded, will be part of this new party.

Information indicates that a popular musician has been contracted to make a jingle for the NDP and will be aired in the coming days to set the stage for a vigorous campaign ahead of the 2012 election in December. A week or two ago, spokesperson for the Rawlingses, Kofi Adams, dropped hints of the likelihood of the formation of a new political party.

Though he did not say whether it would involve the Rawlingses, he told Adom FMs Dwaso Nsem, dont be surprised if a new party is formed with the intention of salvaging an existing party. He however indicated that others who believed in the principles underlying the June 4 and 31st December revolutions could also be planning to form parties. When we get there, we will see what happens.
