The \u00a0Deputy General Secretary of the\u00a0National Democratic Congress (NDC)\u00a0has described as reasonable a suggestion by former President Jerry John Rawlings for the party to elect new leaders ahead of\u00a0the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the extent that the party has to run fresh election it shall take place,\u201d Koku Anyidoho\u00a0said, adding process to for the party’s branch, constitutional and national elections will begin in earnest.<\/p>\n

Former President John Mahama had said the party he led into the 2016 election was a \u201clame horse\u201d resulting in the party’s humiliating defeat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“If you ride a lame horse into a race and you lose the race, your priority must be to cure the lameness of the horse,” he said in April.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former President John Mahama<\/b><\/p>\n

But under an angry tone, the founder of the NDC John Rawlings disagreed with the position of Mr Mahama. \u00a0<\/p>\n

At a gathering Sunday in Wa in the Upper West Region to mark the 38th Anniversary of the June 4, 1979 uprising, Mr Rawlings said the party lost the 2016 election because it abandoned the June 4 values.<\/p>\n

The strength of the NDC, he noted is found in the values of probity, justice and accountability which he said inspired him and others to topple a military regime in 1979.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former President Jerry John Rawlings<\/b><\/p>\n

He was emphatic the NDC will be able to win the 2020 election if it elects new leaders.<\/p>\n

NDC deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidohu told Evans Mensah on Joy FM\u2019s Top Story Monday, the founder\u2019s call for the election of new set of leaders for the party is a \u201cfair comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr Anyidohu said although the former President\u2019s suggestion for new leader will improve the party’s fortune in the 2020 election, the ultimate decision rests with the party’s delegates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is his personal view as to whether it will translate at the time of election we shall see,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his part, political science lecturer, Dr Alidu Seidu said it might not be politically good for the NDC to choose a new leader.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He said Mr Rawlings has to work with the party hierarchy to inculcate the values of the June 4 values in NDC members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is about imbibing in these people the values that are needed\u2026it is about educating them,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
