Nii Amasa Namoale who until this week nursed the ambition to be the NDC\u2019s Flagbearer in the 2020 general election, condemned the action of the Regional Chairmen said such moves will divide the party and rather prolong its stay in opposition.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen people try as much as possible in diverse ways to impose a candidate on the party, there\u2019s a bigger disgrace awaiting us in 2020. God has a way of choosing whoever he wants to be a leader. It\u2019s a known fact that lots of our party members and supporters didn\u2019t vote in the 2016 election due to apathy which contributed to the NDC\u2019s loss. Instead of working to get these people back on board to vote for us next time, we\u2019re rather discouraging them to go away again. Even if it\u2019s John Mahama who\u2019ll eventually be elected as Flagbearer, let\u2019s choose him in the right way so that no one has any hard feelings. What these Chairmen did can cause division in the party, but let\u2019s forgive them and move on as a party because party cohesion is very important.\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>National Democratic Congress(NDC) former Member of Parliament La Dadekotopon, Nii Amasa Namoale has said the party will set itself up for more humiliating defeat in the 2020 election if ex President John Mahama is imposed on the party as flagbearer.
