I\u2019m going in continuity and Asiedu Nketia\u2019s legacy shall forever remain strong in the NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Asiedu Nketia responded to the claim by Mr Anyidoho, describing him as a lair.<\/p>\n<p>He said on Asempa FM on Wednesday that he had not appointed anyone as his personal secretary to explain his decision to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone should have known that the claim by Koku Anyidoho is not true. I\u2019m not a kingmaker to decide who succeeds me, even if I decide not to contest,\u201d General Mosquito countered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was shocked when I saw the story online. I thought it was fake but Koku is not my personal secretary so he cannot make decisions for me,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>General Mosquito said that if Mr Koku Anyidoho has any General Secretary ambition and wants to contest him, he should be bold to come out instead of perpetrating lies to make a case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if I won\u2019t run again, I don\u2019t have the power to appoint someone to be General Secretary,\u201d he made it clear, before asking NDC members to treat Koku Anyidoho\u2019s claims with contempt.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, leadership of the NDC finally admitted that the party\u2019s biometric register which it spent millions to compile, lacks integrity and cannot be relied upon for any meaningful internal elections.<\/p>\n<p>They have officially decided to throw away the biometric register, which was compiled ahead of the 2016 general election, and start a new process to register NDC members manually.<\/p>\n<p>NDC National Chairman, Kofi Portuphy, who made the admission at a news conference in Accra, said the National Executive Council (NEC) took the decision to dump the biometric register in favour of a new one to be manually compiled, having realized that it is not credible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biometric register was well intended but was abused by our operatives and does not meet the standards required to make a credible one, I learnt people have invested heavily in the data-capturing book ready to do same when registration starts once again,\u201d Mr. Portuphy said.<\/p>\n<p>The NDC also used the news conference to announce a timetable for the party\u2019s upcoming activities.<\/p>\n<p>Between 18th and 24th October, 2017, there is going to be what they called \u2018National outrage programme,\u2019 followed by the \u2018fresh registration\u2019 for party members of all branches between November and December, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The branch elections are expected to be held on 2nd, 27th and 28th January, 2018, followed by constituency elections on 3rd, 24th and 25th March, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Regional Youth, Women and Zongo Caucus elections are expected to be held on 2nd and 3rd June, 2018 respectively, and slated the regional conference on June 9th, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>National Youth and Women Conferences are set for 13th and 14th July, 2018 while National Executive Conference is scheduled for 27th and 28th July, 2018.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cold war is ensuing between two opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) stalwarts over the position of General Secretary in the upcoming congress of the party to select new leaders.
