General Secretary for the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has vowed the party’s leadership will deal ruthlessly with any parliamentary aspirant that will sabotage a sitting Member of Parliament in an attempt to contest for same seat.

According to Asiedu Nketia, the decision is to maintain internal cohesion ahead of the party’s contest to elect parliamentary candidates.

He observes, it has been the norm that parliamentary aspirants resort to mischief and sabotage as a means of courting disaffection for incumbent MPs in order be well positioned to succeed them.

The General Secretary was speaking in an interview ahead of series of activities lined up by the party’s hierarchy to elect its leadership from the branch to national levels and to elect parliamentary candidates as well as a flag bearer.

Asiedu Nketia reminds all potential hopefuls, aspirants and their affiliates, as well as all party followers, that such acts constitute ‘anti party conduct’, “and at the same time destroy the cohesive unity of the party.

“Such conduct seriously undermines the painstaking efforts by Council of Elders and the NEC to reorganise the party,” he added.

“I will also remind all party faithful that the NDC’s internal electoral processes that allow members to engage in campaigns and other political activities have not yet been officially launched”.
