The newly-elected chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has called on the party’s activists to cease the war on social media, especially on WhatsApp.
He said, “The media war should cease especially those on the WhatsApp platforms. Let’s use the WhatsApp as a productive tool for organization rather than a disruptive tool to bring our party down.”
He announced plans to crack the whip against party members who use intemperate language and sponsor others to attack personalities in the party.
Prior to the congress, some influential party members engaged in media war.
A former Deputy Regional Minister, Joseph Yammin, reportedly described Betty Mould-Iddrisu, a defeated aspirant as ethnocentric and blatant lair who should be rejected by delegates.
Mrs Mould-Iddrisu, in response, also described the accusations as “foolish.”
Mr Ofosu Ampofo, who was addressing delegates at the 9th National Delegates Congress after he was declared winner in the contest, hinted of plans to establish a ballot box protection unit that would protect ballot boxes and polling agents on election day.
He said the move would address challenges faced by the party during elections especially in its strongholds.
“In 2020, we are not going to leave any stone unturned. We are going out to mobilise all forces to reverse the economic challenges we are going through,” he added.
Former President John Dramani Mahama also called on aspirants who lost in the contest to throw their full weight behind the new executives to help the party emerge victorious in the 2020 general elections.
“The return of the NDC to power should not be based on the poor performance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in government, but the fact that the NDC provided a better option.
He said, “Our return to power must be based on a humble and persuasive approach to Ghanaians.”
Mr Ofosu Ampofo advised his fellow politicians to consider the concerns of the people before making decisions.
Koku Anyidoho, the immediate-past Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, who was defeated by Aseidu- Nketia, gave a concession speech on behalf of other defeated candidates.
“In the name of the party; the supremacy of the party, we will say that we accept the results declared by the Electoral Commission,” he stated.

Ofosu Ampofo were Ghanaians in paradise when ndc was in power, even you who came to meet money in the consolidated fund and created judgement debts to pay to yourselves later told us you've eaten all the flesh from the bones leaving only bones, and what can bones do? look at the flashy affluence that you people showed during your congress where did you get that money from? but your evil intends will forever come back to hunt you! When God blesses you he show you the way to a breakthrough! if Ofosu Ampofo is the Christian he calls himself to be and an elder as he is called he wouldn't speak that way when his party is the cause of whatever he is talking about,but God so good to the President has given him wisdom and knowledge to govern his people and as the Lord fought on the battle of 2016 in which Ofosu Ampofo a Pentecost elder was the ndc electoral committee coordinator and led the ndc to an unprecedented humiliating defeat so will the same Lord of Abraham let them be defeated with Ofosu Ampofo as the chairman of the axis of evil. God is never to be mocked and not all that who cry Lord, Lord will enter the heaven gate! Lucifer was in heaven until he rebelled against the Lord but I cry for the Pentecost church who are allowing these people led by Ofosu Ampofo to use their church premises for their evil planning against this state! a group of people who do not believe in the Lord but want violence to achieve their aim must not be tolerated by any church! They are evil! ndc are evils who dont believe there is a God but our trumpets singing of Oye, Oye will defeat their bobolibobo as it did to Onaapo! Ghana Is Working Again! evils will be blinded so will never see any good thing until they are destroyed by God! The defeat of the ndc is coming again so let the people say "ehe edzo bodoo"
