Central Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC}, Allotey Jacobs has admitted that his party before the 2016 elections, had serious unresolved issues which disintegrated the leadership of the ‘Umbrella’ fraternity.
According to him, the party is still not unified to begin preparation to unseat the NPP in the 2020 election – but was optimistic that the ‘comeback’ of the founder, John Jerry Rawlings will strengthen their frontline ahead of 2020 elections.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’, Allotey Jacobs said he was happy when Former President Jerry John Rawlings called for “unity” in the party when speaking at a political rally at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the NDC.
“I salute the former President for that. He gave a sensitive idea that will help the party and we are all for that. What he said was true. Before the elections there were divisions among us,” he confirmed.
Adding that, “We must put aside our differences and work together to capture power in 2020. I salute the former President for that speaking and it’s a fact we as party leaders can’t deny it. Rawlings can unite the party [NDC]. He will call various leaders and talk to them. He exhibited that during the rally.”

ndc is just a funny group of ple. these were the same ple that said they were more united and that Nana has divided NPP. they used the problem in NPP to cover their deep crack but thank God, Our God is not asleep. now they are exposed. i see more division coming with Rawlings coming back gradually into the party and most of Mahama's team against him. its going to be interesting.
JM might commit suicide after 2020 if he should lead ndc again!!!!
Mr Allotey, stop dreaming if you are not drunk. You are the same person who said Alhasan Ouattara was not born to be president but he is now the president of Ivory Coast. You said Nana Ado can never become a president of Ghna, he is now the president of Ghana. Ghanaians would not be ***barred word*** to vote for NDC to come back and loot the country again so stop dreaming about power or coming back.
THE NDC DOES NOT NEED ANY UNITY TO COME TO POWER!! NO PARTY WAS MORE BROKEN UP THAN THE NPP WITH A LAME DUCK 70 YEAR OLD CANDIDATE!!! THEY STILL CAME TO POWER BECAUSE GHANAIAN VOTERS GAVE THEM THE CHANCE! THINK DEEP ON THIS MATTER.
Uncle Allotey, thank you very much. You are in the spirit. You've said it all. My little advise is that, they shouldn't even make a mistake of bringing Mahama back or else? A word to the wise is in the Northern Region of Ghana.
