Individually have they assessed their capabilities in winning even the upcoming elections? They should think about themselves now, and concentrate on the proper re-organization of the party so that when they also stand for elections, people can vote for them. That should be their prime focus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His comments follow the endorsement by all ten Regional Chairpersons of the main opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) backing the candidature of former President, John Dramani Mahama in the 2020 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>At a meeting held Thursday, November 9, 2017 between the former leader and the Regional Chairpersons of the NDC party at Cantonments in Accra, the ten officials said Mr. Mahama must \u201cconsider the requests of the teeming supporters\u201d and lead the party into contest in the next elections.<\/p>\n<p>But in an interview with host Fiifi Banson on <em><strong>Anopa Kasapa<\/strong><\/em> on <em><strong>Kasapa 102.5 FM<\/strong><\/em>, Mr Tetteh Chaie said \u201ctheir job now is how to work to achieve the re-organization move by the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds: \u201cAs a party we shouldn\u2019t create the impression that former President cannot take decisions for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen you listen to JDM\u2019s speech delivered at the last Unity Walk, he said so many things; things that will unite the party, and I believe it should have ended there. Per their position as members of National Executive Committee(NEC),the Regional Chairmen should not be meddling in some of these things. Because this is the time the party has set an agenda which has massively been embraced by the grassroot. And it is incumbent on the Regional Chairmen to concentrate on the re-organization. Because when that is done, then whoever is elected as the Flagbearer will have a sound footing to lead the battle in 2020.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe position taken by the Regional Chairmen, is undoubtedly making it difficult for other hopefuls to come out boldly.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s not fair. It\u2019s not the duty of the Regional Chairmen to go to His Excellency, the former President and ask him to consider standing on the ticket of the party in the next Congress; it\u2019s not their duty. Let any ordinary member of the party say so. But they, as members of NEC, should take themselves off some of those things; It doesn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if (d.getElementById(id)) return;js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=1136575713042949&version=v2.3\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if (d.getElementById(id)) return;js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.6\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\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>Former Member of Parliament for Ablekuma Central in the Greater Accra Region, Theophilus\u00a0Tetteh Chaie has taken a swipe at the ten Regional Chairmen backing the candidature of former President John Dramani Mahama for the 2020 elections, saying their call on the former leader smacks of sheer hypocrisy.
