The 13-member Kwesi Botchwey Committee constituted and mandated to investigate what caused the embarrassing defeat of the NDC at the 2016 polls yesterday (June 19, 2017) presented a 455-page report to the National Executive Council detailing the party’s shortfall hence defeat.
But General Secretary of the party, Asiedu Nketia who spoke to ghanaweb.com exclusively described the voluminous report as inconclusive on the outcomes on the NDC’s 2016 electoral misfortunes.
‘The report is one aspect of the whole exercise we are undertaking and in fact, the report itself cannot be conclusive as to why we lost the election. We are taking the views of our party members on why we lost the election.’
Asiedu Nketia also asserted that the party is only interested in the recommendation of the report, adding that the National Executive Council is yet to weigh the credibility of the committee's findings and recommendations.
‘All that we will be interested in will be the recommendations and how we will put them into effect. Committees of this nature may come up with findings, so publishing everything in the report may generate further controversies ’
According to Asiedu Nketia, the report is a very important component of the NDC’s preparation towards 2020 election but not the ‘’all-in-all’ of the NDC.
Meanwhile, the report which had a subtitled "listening to the voice of the grassroots", pressed the NDC leadership to consider the peace-making and healing tour as "extremely important".
The Committee also touched on issues relating to the party's biometric register which become a source of discontent within the grassroots.
Prof. Kwesi Botchwey committee recommended that party must work to "restore the integrity of the biometric register" adding that expansion of the electoral college to include ordinary party members needs to be re-examined to restore confidence in the party’s democratic novelty.

This man is still living in denial. Such people must be gotten rid of.
General,I bet to differ on this one. How can you be interested in the recommendations without the findings? Pls let's get a lot more responsible.
Eii General Asiedu Nketia. who are you to discredit the findings of a Professor? You are just telling us that you cannot read all 455 pages and make sense out of it so your attempt to discredit Prof. KB and his team. NDC members should wake up and not put all their trust in Asiedu Nketia. he will surely mislead them as in the case of the comfortable lead. Bawumia is always right... NDC does NOT and CANNOT read. Period!!!
election, 1, the higest corrution in th history of africa was practise during maham a time, 2, mahama was the most imcopenntent mn in ghan aleaderships, h3 he took boys form bola and sttreet and made them ministers abi messengers to destroy the country, n,c, d cant account for $37 bilion dooalrs loans, the gyda monies, cyda manies, akwua donkoh house and car, the bus branding deal, ibrahim social security non payment, the opuni cocoa deals, the maahma house in dubia, when his villgers dont gt water to drink, the sudden n,d,c millionaire ministers like ablakkwah , haruna, idrisu, the baba jama, and the lots who never had one dolars and many more are the reason, but
What a nice way to say we cannot read the 455 page report as Bawumiah has been telling them since time immemorial. This man will find it necessary to discredit the report because it is too academic.
After all the noise the comfortable lead was inconclusive!!!
This whole report thing is an academic exercise..... It is a waste time and money. It is not a rocket science to know the cause. NDC lost due to incompetence, greediness and corruption. Their new slogan of create, l00t and share was displayed in GYEDA, SADA, YEA, Wayome, bus branding, National service corruption, $13m vice presidential accommodation, etc etc... In all these corruption cases no one was punished.
when u have such a thing as your general secertary and the most intelligent person in your party . how did ndc end up with zombies at the helm of affairs
Jm lack credibility. NDC was visionless, missionless, strategyless and messageless.
