Mr. Emmanuel Reagan Fynn, Oforikrom Constituency Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stressed the need for the party to deepen internal democracy for sustainable growth.
�� � �� He said building vibrant internal structures would help breed healthy competition in the party,� to enhance its chances of claiming victory in the 2016 General Elections.
������ Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi, Mr. Fynn kicked against suggestions from some of the party�s quarters which had proposed that President John Mahama must not be contested for in the NDC�s flagbearership race.
�� ��� �For me, it is necessary for the National Executive Committee (NEC) to encourage all those who are interested to contest for the flagbearership,� he said, noting this was critical to avoiding divisions and acrimony borne out of disagreements within the party.
�� ��� Some party activists had in recent time rooted for the President to go unopposed as this would engender continuity in the NDC�s development programmes.
�� �� They also argued that President Mahama had already won the goodwill of the electorate, and that this places him in an advantageous position to win the Presidential election.
�� �� Mr. Fynn said much as the suggestions carried some weight, �we must not lose sight of how some impositions in the past brought its own challenges to the NDC.�
�� �� The Youth Organizer indicated that to prevent internal wrangling, it was appropriate for the party to do what was right to maintain its momentum in the Ghanaian political landscape.
