NDC Elders Must Allow Members to Elect Their Own Leaders - Yaw Boateng Gyan Condemns Internal Attacks

A former National Organizer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Boateng Gyan has expressed worry about events at the party's just ended Youth and Women's delegates conference in Cape Coast.

According to him, the party needs prayers as it is gradually spiraling out of control and internal democracy must work again in the party.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the NDC he knew is gradually changing from its democratic nature.

"I will not allow them to seal my mouth, I will say what I feel will help the party," he stated, adding that the party should allow its members to elect people they feel can work and push the party forward.

"The elders should stop being behind and rooting for some candidates. . . we won't allow anyone to take the party as their bonafide property . . . " he angrily said.

" . . All the elders, from former President to former National Executives, they should all come out and defuse the notion that they support a particular candidate . . . Hanna Bissiw(Women's Organiser) even tells me now the hatred is too much, how?" Yaw Boateng Gyan said.
