The campaign coordinator of the Nana Konadu for 2012 Campaign Team, Michael Teye Nyaunu, says the decision by National Executives of the NDC to �merely distance themselves from the launch of the campaign song of President John Mills was not enough". According to him, the executives should have prevented the �premature� launch from taking place, other than issuing a statement to distance themselves, saying their action clearly smacks of fostering disunity within the party. Last Saturday, June 25 2011 at the Trade Fair Centre, a song extolling the virtues of President John Evans Atta Mills and which puts him up as the obvious choice for National Democratic Congress delegates attending the party�s July congress, was launched. Sponsors of the song, Friends of Atta Mills, convinced he will win the July 9 flagbearer race to be held in Sunyani, are already appealing to party executives to endorse the song as the party�s campaign song for the 2012 general elections. Even though the NDC�s National Executive Committee, per a statement issued by General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, had distanced the party from the campaign song, Hon Teye Nyaunu insists that is not enough. Speaking on Xfm�s big bite show, Hon Teye Nyaunu opined that the national executives could have done more than just distancing themselves. Despite the launch of President John Mills� campaign song ahead of the congress, Hon Teye Nyaunu said President Mills will lose the July 9 congress.
