The General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Nicholas Duncan-Williams has said that as a clergyman he is non-partisan but if he has to choose a political party, it will not be the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC). "I am not NDC!... If I ever decide to go into politics I will join my father's party - the CPP [Convention People's Party." The popular Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams was speaking on Joy FM on Monday transmitted from the headquarters of the Church on the Spintex Road in Accra. In a rare explanation of his political roots, he said people may perceive him to be NDC because the former Health Minister in the Jerry Rawlings-led NDC government, Dr. Mary Grant is his aunt. It is also widely known that the Archbishop has a great friendship with former President Jerry John Rawlings. Nonetheless, for a pioneering charismatic leader of over 20,000 members having connections in any government should be expected. �I have always had people in government�I have friends and families in NDC, NPP and CPP�, he noted. But truly, his heart is where his father was the pioneering General Secretary of the CPP in Kumasi in the Ashanti region, he revealed. �I voted for CPP even though I knew they won�t win�, he said pointing out �I believe in a lot of things Kwame Nkrumah [Ghana�s first president] stood for.�
