DEPUTY GENERAL Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has apparently not recovered from the shock that hit him and the party after their massive defeat in last year\u2019s general election. He revisited the party\u2019s famous \u2018comfortable lead\u2019 mantra in the 2016 polls over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Sounding extremely confident, he stated categorically that \u201cThe NDC is still in comfortable lead,\u201d attracting jeers from the charged audience.<\/p>\n

The occasion was the 2017 annual Delegate\u2019s Conference of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), which was held in Cape Coast, the Central Regional capital.<\/p>\n

The NDC delegation which was at the event by way of solidarity, included top party gurus such as outspoken Allotey Jacobs and Kwaku Boahen, deputy communications officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NDC is still in comfortable lead,\u201d he stressed when delivering the party\u2019s goodwill message to the teeming NPP delegates on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Before Mr. Anyidoho could complete his \u201ccomfortable lead\u201d statement, the charged NPP delegates, in unison, started to jeer at him.<\/p>\n

The NDC deputy chief scribe, who seemed unperturbed, then rephrased his statement, \u201cWe are still in comfortable lead to win election 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall surely win the next election and invite the NPP to witness our conference just as we are doing today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NPP delegates, who had continually booed Mr. Anyidoho, seemed more fired up when Koku reframed his statement.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the NPP delegates had chanted, \u201cAway, Away, Away,\u201d which were directed at Mr. Anyidoho for singing an NDC song at the NPP programme.<\/p>\n

Mr. Anyidoho, after mounting the podium, shocked the NPP members, as he started singing \u201cThe victory of the NDC is coming again\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Anyidoho\u2019s few minutes on the podium seemed to have electrified the place as he sometimes, jokingly provoked the ruling party\u2019s delegates.<\/p>\n

When he eventually veered into serious business, he charged President Akufo-Addo to fulfill all his campaign promises, notably, the Free Senior High School (SHS).<\/p>\n

He said the NDC was impatiently waiting to see the NPP roll out all its lengthy campaign promises, which enabled the party to win the polls in 2016.<\/p>\n

Mr. Anyidoho also charged the president to work to maintain the peace of the state, saying, \u201cWe left Ghana in peace and so want peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded by acknowledging the huge gains made by Ghana in the democratic dispensation and entreated all Ghanaians to protect the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the fact that the NPP invited the NDC to its conference and the NDC also accepted the invitation, clearly shows that we are making gains,\u201d Koku noted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
