Ho, Nov. 13, GNA \u2013 Mr Henry Ametefee, the Volta Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called for strategies to sustain the Party without compromising its structures through monetisation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said monetisation of the branches showed a bleak future for the Party and should be addressed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Amertefee, addressing the regional delegates conference in Ho, said the leadership should take the issue seriously to save the Party.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the NDC had grown stronger despite election era intimidation and militisation of the Volta Region and noted the role of data in the success story.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s political arena has changed. Data is speaking now and for the first time in the region, data was used\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr James Gunu, the NDC Regional Secretary, said the digitisation innovation would help correct collation errors as occurred in the 2020 elections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said split voting patterns affected the election successes of the party and should be corrected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Donor fatigue made it difficult to get funding for party activities, he said, and commended present and past members of parliament and executives for the continuous support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leaders of the Party present, including Mr Edward Doe Adzaho, former Speaker of Parliament, and Mr Daniel Agbodakpi, a former MP, also condemned the monetised electioneering, and cross-party voting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

More than 700 delegates voted to elect leaders for 15 positions from among 52 contestants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was about a two-hour delay due to the late arrival of delegates.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Doe Adzaho donated GHC10,000 towards the congress, while Ernest Agbeshi, MP for Ashaiman, gave GHC20,000.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
