A TOP member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region has described the party’s 2016 embarrassing defeat to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the “mother of all defeats.”
Alhaji Sanni, a former deputy Ashanti Regional chairman of the NDC, who made the remarks, also predicted that “no political party will suffer such a humiliating defeat in Ghana politics again.”
He stated whilst being interviewed on Hello Fm in Kumasi, “The NPP defeated us badly in 2016 and I can predict that no political party will suffer such an embarrassing defeat as the NDC suffered again.”
No Collation Centre
Alhaji Sanni disclosed also that the NDC did not have a collation centre in the Ashanti Region during the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections, resulting in the party’s poor performance in the region.
He stated that the NDC did not prepare properly for the important elections, yet the leadership of the party constantly bragged that winning the 2016 elections was a done deal for the NDC.
False Campaign
He noted that the NDC’s campaign message was laden with blatant lies, stressing that the party’s prediction of winning staggering 1.5 million votes in the Ashanti Region was just a political slang.
According to him, the grounds were not fertile for the NDC, especially in the Ashanti Region, prior to the 2016 elections, “Yet they constantly bragged that they would win more votes in the region, which was a lie.”
‘Ignore Party Executives’
Alhaji Sanni sternly warned the NDC leadership not to include the Ashanti Regional executives in the party’s team that would be visiting the region as part of the healing tour that the Prof. Kwesi Botchwey committee suggested.
According to him, most of the executives failed to deliver and so the grass root members of the party are angry with them, stressing that including such people in the tour might have serious security implications.
No Blame Game
The former regional chairman also admonished the NDC to shun the blame game, insisting that every member of the party is at fault, regarding its shocking defeat.

WHEN THE LEARNED JUDGE JUSTICE DOTSE SAID ELECTIONS IN GHANA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN DURING THE ELECTION PETITION, THE NDC DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE LEARNED JUDGE AND THOUGHT IT WAS BUSINESS OF RIGGING AS USUAL IN 2016. THE REFUSAL OF THE NDC FOR A NEW VOTERS REGISTER WORKED GREATLY IN FAVOUR OF THE NPP BECAUSE ALL THE TOGOLESE WERE BLOCKED BY OUR VOLTA REGION CONTEMPORARIES AND BROTHERS FROM VOTING.
THE 2012 ELECTION PETITION WAS GOOD FOR THE NPP BECAUSE THEY REALISED THAT IT IS NOT ONLY HAVING GOOD MANIFESTOES AND CAMPAIGNING VIGOROUSLY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THEY REALISED THAT THE COLLATION OF THE RESULTS IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT, IGNORING THE CHEATING EC COMPLETELY AND RELYING HEAVILY ON THEIR COLLATING AGENTS IN THE VARIOUS POLLING STATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE NPP"S CALLING OF THE ELECTIONS BASED ON SIGNED PINK SHEETS OF EC OFFICIALS THREW THE SCHEMING NDC AND THE EC"S PLANS TO RIG THE ELECTIONS OVERBOARD EXPOSING THE UNPREPAREDNESS OF THE NDC AND THE EC TO ALL.
Alhaji''s in Ashanti region The greatest of Muslims in Ghana from Adam. Ask history.
YES YOU ARE RIGHT CHEATING DISRESPECTFUL ACTS PLUS CORRUPTION LIES BROUGHT THE DEFEAT AGAIN OUR RIGGING MACHINES PLUS THE HELP OF COURT SHOWN IN 2012 ELECTIONS GOD PUNISHED US IF CARE NOT TAKEN THERE WILL BE DIVISIONS IN THE PARTY AND IT WILL END US LIKE CPP
I now know the secret of your victory in previous elections. In the name of the Almighty God, one day Dr. Afari Djan will have to explain how the NDC won the 2012 elections. The chairman has confessed that they never had any machine for collation of results yet koku was able to convince the whole world that they were in a comfortable lead. The man is a prophet as he has predicted that such a defeat will never happen again, meaning..... Your guess is as good as mine
