Recently, we thought the word incompetent had become anathema in the NDC, after the President blew his top when the word was used to describe him.
But an NDC pressure group in the Volta Region, describing themselves as Volta Youth for Development, had no qualms applying that word to the vice president. Hypocrisy, perhaps? After all, the superior must be responsible for the foibles of his subordinates, no?
According to this group, the President must change Amissah Arthur as his running mate for the next election. They feel he brings nothing to the table and would also lose the party votes.
They suggest Doe Adjaho, the current speaker of Parliament, to be the running mate for the NDC in the next election. They note that despite steadfast support, the NDC has done little for the region and this would be a way to mollify them.
Read the group’s statement below…
MAKE DOE ADJAHO THE RUNNING MATE- VOLTA YOUTH FOR DEVELOPMENT
We the members of Volta Youth For Development demand from President Mahama to select the Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Doe Adjaho as his running mate to secure victory for the party in the 2016 elections.
The fact is, Ghanaians have seen Amissah Arthur to be very incompetent as the Vice President to President Mahama and so, our believe which has sprung out of a research is that, his pair again with President Mahama as his running mate can only reduce the votes of NDC drastically.
Secondly, with the continous strong support of NDC by Voltarians despite our continous neglect by the NDC when it comes to development and ministerial position assignments, we as a result deem it fit for the President and all the national executives of the NDC party to at least “console our soul” with this running mate position.
Eventhough Hon. Doe Adjaho has no hand in our demand, we have chosen to nominate him to be considered for this position because we see him as the best out of all the voltarians in NDC, which has been proven through a research of ours with respective to a majority of voltarians in and out of the Volta region.
We hope our request will be given a consideration by the leadership of NDC.
Thank you and may God be praised always
