The Second deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has been dragged before the Council of Elders of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) by some members of the umbrella family over his actions which they described as “inappropriate”.
Andrews Amadi Krow and Dzifa Gunu, known party members of the NDC made that move, Wednesday, January 17, 2018, against Hon. Bagbin who is aspiring to become the Presidential Candidate of the umbrella family and lead them in the 2020 general elections.
In the view of the group, the actions of the Nadowli/Kaleo constituency lawmaker is at variance with a directive issued by the Council of Elders of the party on August 22, 2017, hence, their action.
Although the group was not specific with the actions of the Second deputy Speaker of Parliament which are at variance with the directives of the Council of Elders of the NDC, political connoisseurs believe that move by the group is largely centered on Hon. Bagbin’s seemingly attacks on the former President, John Dramani Mahama for causing the defeat of the party in the 2016 general elections.
Below is the press statement by the group
My brother, Andrews Amadi Krow, and I on Wednesday January 17, 2017, wrote to the Council of Elders of our Party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to complain about the inappropriate actions of the MP for Nadowli-Kaleo, Hon. Alban Bagbin, which actions are at variance with the August 22, 2017, Press Release of the Council of Elders of the NDC.
The Council of Elders’ statement called on all members of the NDC “to respect the party structures and procedures in resolving internal grievances and conflicts”. The Council also asked all members to stop the practice of “ventilating their grievances in public through the electronic, print and social media” bringing “the good name of the Party into disrepute”.
Obviously, Mr. Bagbin has violated all of these positions and it is our hope that the Council will consider our complaint and take the necessary steps. This will prevent others from taking a cue and returning to the media and public space to defend and explain themselves.
The NDC must remain united for 2020. The NDC must follow disciplinary rules laid down by the Party. Our seniors must be seen to be leading the way.

Npp guys please stay away from NDC matters all usles s is coming from npp.bagban has no room in 2020, Mahama all the wayyyy
Once mahama looses all the young men around him will go down they will have to look for new masters.The basics of leadership and discipleship is that you have to be principle.That what will take you far and make you even accepted in your opponent's camp.
Time indeed for a free for all fight in NDC
Democracy in the ndc is lacking because their trying to gag other contestants from speaking in the advantage of the unperformed formal president JDM. How can you contest election without selling yourself to people who will elect you. Mahama is a bump to lead ndc.
Recipe for further confusion and division in NDC party. How can they summon one of the few credible voices left in the party? Bagbin may not beat Mahama but the party can lose the elections by the way they handle dissenting voices like this man and Sly.
I DONT THINK THE NDC NEEDS POWER. THE NPP SHOULD CONTINUE TILL THEY ARE TIRED. WHAT IS THIS? THE FOUNDER AND HIS WIFE ARE DINING WITH THE NPP. INFACT THEY ASSISTED NANA ADDO TO WIN THE ELECTION. NOW INSTEAD OF THE NDC TO LOOK SHARP AND PUT THEIR HOUSE IN OTHER LOOK AT THE ANTICS. everybody WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. DIDNT PRESIDENT KUFOUR WENT ABOUT TWO TIMES BEFORE HE GOT IT. DIDNT PRESIDENT MILLS AND AKUFFU ADDO WENT 3 TIMES BEFORE. NOW PREZ. MAHAMA HAS GONE ONE TERM AND HAS DONE SOME HARD WORK. LOOK AT THE ROADS, THE AIRPORTS, THE HOSPITALS THE INTER CHANGE AND MANY MORE WITH IN JUST FOUR YEARS. AM SURE EVEN IF THEY WERE SOME MISTAKES HE MIGHT HAVE SEEN IT BY NOW AND WILL NOT REPEAT IT. ANYWAY IF MAHAMA DECIDES NOT TO STAND AGAIN I THINK PROF. KWESI BOTWE WILL BE THE BEST CHOICE INFACT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE VICE PRESIDENT. HE KNOWS THE GROUND HE HAS SEEN IT ALL. VERY ELOQUENT AND VERY SMART AND SPEAKS MANY LANGUAGES,
Mahama boys are so desperate they are take impulsive and bad decisions. Your leader has expired. Just deal with it an throw your support behind a marketable person.
SAYOO AYE HUHUHUHU
Look at these ld1ots, you couldn'even mentioned a single statement Mr Bagbin has which is against John Mahama,let me refresh the brain of these ***barred word*** fuuls, didn't Ghanaians vote against us because of corruption and th13very from John Mahama and his cronies, you bastuurrds should go and tell your pay masters that it wont wash, and some of us are waiting patiently for what the elders of the party are going to say about these issue,if doesnt go down well to us , we shall also avenge by coming out with more revelation of corruption during Mahamas government
