Following the \u201cknocking\u201d visits of the 22 constituencies in the Volta Region by the Konadu boys to announce her intention to battle President Mills for the party\u2019s flagbearership, the 44 constituency chairmen and secretaries have been hauled to meet the regional executives at the residence of the Region Minister today.<\/p>\n

Prior to today\u2019s meeting at Ho, some core regional executive members were reportedly at the Osu castle in Accra yesterday to meet the Vice President, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, to discuss the state of affairs within the party in the region, the Enquirer newspaper gathered.
The Enquirer\u2019s sources at the constituencies disclosed that around 13 hours of Tuesday, the party chairmen received calls from the regional secretariat of the party summoning them to a meeting in Ho today without disclosing the agenda of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Some of them hinted that though the agenda has not been disclosed, they suspected that it is the visit by Nana Konadu\u2019s team to the constituencies to meet the delegates, which, according to them, is currently raising agitation, has forced the regional executives to call this meeting.<\/p>\n

Some of the constituency chairmen who want to remain anonymous noted that the messages delivered by the Konadu boys have touched their hearts and they would like to work for them, \u201cbut\u201d one heaved a sigh.
One of them stated that the concerns raised by Kofi Adams, a Rawlings aide, and other members of the team, which formed the basis of their action \u201care the real facts on the ground,\u201d but they pray that situations change before the flagbearership race of the party starts.<\/p>\n

Most of them said when they get to the meeting today \u201cwe will tell them our peace of mind,\u201d adding that but the choice to take or leave them is in the hands of the leadership of the party and government.
They expressed the view that it is the district, municipal and metropolitan chief executives that are \u201cdigging the grave for the president,\u201d stressing that until some of the MMDCEs are replaced with hard working and honest party people \u201cthe president will not have his peace and should forget it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Volta Regional Chairman of the NDC, Kwesi Aboagye, in an interview with the Enquirer, confirmed the meeting of the constituency chairmen and secretaries and stressed that he has called the meeting in his capacity as the regional chairman of the party but not to campaign for any flagbearership aspirant.<\/p>\n

Mr. Aboagye also declined to comment on the brain behind the meeting, explaining that it is purely a party issue and would not like to go public with it. The Enquirer\u2019s sources within the party hinted that the regional executives of the NDC, who were summoned to meet the Vice President, were there to discuss the threat posed by Nana Konadu in the NDC \u201cWorld Bank\u201d and to find an antidote to it before meeting the delegates today.<\/p>\n

Some of the NDC executives who were sighted at the seat of government to meet with the Veep include the regional chairman, Kwesi Aboagye, and his secretary, Simon Amegashie-Viglo, the regional organizer, Henry Ametefe, who is also the regional NADMO coordinator.
The others include the regional women organizer, Mercy Kuwada and the deputy regional organizer, William Attipoe.<\/p>\n

The saga has resulted to an open confrontations among the regional executives who are said to be sharply divided, with the above mentioned names on one party, and the regional youth organiser, Mr. Maxwell Owusu Siaw, regional treasurer, Mr. Simon Miles Baka and the propaganda secretary, Nicholas Kwame Fato, who are all sidelined by Mr. Aboagye and his group, to the other side.<\/p>\n

Mr. Baka, in an interview, complained bitterly about the move by the chairman and other executives to sideline some of them, indicating \u201cI am neither aware of the meeting with the constituency chairmen and secretaries nor the regional executives meeting with the vice president today.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he has not declared support for either the President or Nana Konadu yet and so could understand the \u201ccard being played by the chairman and his group.\u201d Other executives who were also sidelined vowed to meet the chairman and his group boot for boot \u201cif they think they can work alone for the NDC in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
