A Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School, Dr Kobby Mensah is impressed with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) way of handling issues within their party.
He was commenting on the NDC’s Council of Elders's step-in to resolve the impasse over the appointment of a new leadership of the minority caucus.
Over the past several days, the Council of Elders of the NDC has been holding a series of meetings on a petition submitted by a group of NDC Members of Parliament on the changes to the party’s Parliamentary leadership announced earlier by the party Leadership.
“The Council approached the engagements conscious of the need for an early resolution which will be in the best interest of the party and mindful of the imperatives of unity and cohesion at a time Ghanaians are looking up to the NDC to rescue the country from the dismal state of affairs which has been the hallmark of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government,” the party said in a statement.
However, Dr Kobby Mensah said on NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie' that the approach is “commendable”.
To him, a united NDC front might win the next election.

what is commendable about this shameful and tribalistic act? hypocrisy
What is commendable about this. In a democracy leadership changes are often the only way to ensure accountability and transparency in governance.It is also done to ensure that new leadership is developed in up and coming party promising individuals. When leaders resist change and appeal to their own importance and power, this is dangerous and exactly what the replaced leadership sought to do. The very fact that this had to be explained to them in an organized meeting with top leadership is not only disgraceful but dangerous. There is nothing commendable about this. It’s a serious blot on the democratic sense of NDC leadership which must concern all.
