The proposal  elicited reactions, with other groups of footsoldiers declaring support  for President Mills as their choice for Election 2012.<\/p>\n<p>But  after a marathon meeting by all ten regional chairmen of the party held  in Accra, they resolved, as custodians of the party in the various  regions, to caution members and activists to respect the structures of  the NDC and adhere to laid down procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The regional  chairmen also resolved that all other groups apart from the Women and  Youth groups as the only recognized groups by the party and that any  other group is disbanded.<\/p>\n<p>The newest group, <strong>GAME 2012<\/strong>, a  group of NDC supporters in the Ashanti Region has warned that apart from  President John Mills, no other person in the party could lead the NDC  to victory in the 2012 general election. They are therefore calling on  party members to boldly declare their support, and also rally behind the  President to get him re-elected as leader and flagbearer of the NDC,  towards the 2012 elections.<\/p>\n<p>When impressed upon that their call  might be illegal following the ban on all splinter groups within the  party, the groups Communication Director strongly disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <strong>Xfm 95.1<\/strong>,  a privately owned commercial radio station in Accra, Clement Kegeri  said as long as the group operates within the confines of the party\u2019s  constitution, they have breached no law. He said, \u201cas far as we are  concerned, we operate bearing in mind the constitution that regulates  the activities of the party. We are more than convinced that our  activities do not breach any part of the constitution of the party and  because of that, we are at liberty to operate provided we act within the  confines of the constitution; and that is precisely what we are doing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He  also said their call is not to say that nobody should contest the  reigning president \u201cbut that the party is fortunate to have the right  man who has been able to lead us very successfully\u2026 We think that he is  more than qualified to lead the party and we are of the fullest  conviction that under the leadership of Prof Mills, victory would be  ours in 2012\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newest group to have erupted from the ruling National Democratic Congress, Get Atta Mills Elected (GAME 2012) has rejected suggestions that their call on supporters of the party to re-elect President Mills as flagbearer for the party ahead of the party\u2019s primary is an infringement on the rules binding the NDC.
