A Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ernest Owusu Bempah has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the issues that have characterized the conduct of the presidential and parliamentary election which have resulted in the injunction application filed by a flagbearer aspirant Dr Kwabena Duffuor.
Commenting on the issue at hand in a released statement, the Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, categorically stated that Ghanaians must not take both the NDC and Mahama serious because their experiment is a failure.
“The depths the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have plumbed and still they continue to drag themselves lower is hilarious to say the least. Justifiably, the NDC have long since abandoned even the slightest pretence of trying to look better, nor speak anything remotely truthful. Their sole goal is to appease their cult leader, John Mahama and lie all they can while they can.
“Sadly, for the NDC, one of their own, Dr Kwabena Duffuor isn’t playing with his presidential bid. Duffuor has formally injuncted the NDC presidential primaries slated for Saturday, 13th May, 2023. The charges against the NDC as alleged by Dr Kwabena Duffuor include the inability of the party to compile accurate voter’s register for the elections.”

Ernest Owusu Bempah claimed that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor also accused the NDC leadership of siding with Mahama to desecrate the integrity of the party’s internal election process. “This is incredible. Isn’t it?”, he questioned.
He averred that John Dramani Mahama is out there campaigning and promising the electorates to govern the nation “compassionately with integrity, and accountability. And yet he’s supervising corruption and rigging machinery regarding the NDC’s intra-party elections?”
“How can these NDC people run a country if they can’t analyse, compile and put together a solid election data and their own internal collation system? Is the inaccuracies, the impersonation and the bloted register of the NDC’s own intra-party elections that Dr Duffuor is accusing them of, a dress rehearsal for election 2024?
“Is this what the NDC is planning for election 2024? First, it was their inability to collate their own election results and now the compilation of a mere party register has exposed their incompetence.”

NDC Has No Right To Ever Accuse EC
The NPP Deputy Communications Director said that he had never doubted the NDC’s incompetence and the fact that the NDC insists on following the rules of engagement regarding its own internal elections, really jumps at him. He stated that this also showed that NDC had no fundamental concept for accountability. “What exactly is the Mahama NDC planning to offer Ghanaians?”, he questioned.
He made mention of the fact that if the NDC could do this to itself, then how should the NDC expect the EC to be fair in the run-up to election 2024. He insisted that the NDC had no right to ever accuse the Electoral Commission of Ghana for electoral “malfeasance and corruptible conduct”, when the NDC itself is trapped in the same scheme in its backyard, attempting to do all it can to make sure John Dramani Mahama wins the presidential primaries with an advantage over the other two contestants.
“What is the point of intra-party politics and leadership if they can’t even publicly correct the record when they are wrong? When you think about it, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
“The malaise and the incompetence goes deeper – to the absence of a purpose beyond clearing up the mess they have found themselves in. If the Mahama NDC has a vision of what to achieve in government, its fulfilment lies across a slurry pit filled with the incompetence in handling their internal elections.”

Moreover, he emphasized that the NDC had no answers to anything that would benefit society even if they were to gain power in the 2024 elections. He said what the NDC has is “prompts from paid agitators on how to harness the necessary lying propaganda, so that the self-serving mendacious egos of Mahama and friends are voted for by the duped and the deluded.”
“The Greek philosopher Plato once said that worse than an absence of direction is the loss of any sense of direction. That is exactly the crisis that the NDC has found itself in. They have no sense of direction and desperately trying to stay relevant by engaging in theatrics. It’s time we got rid of these shysters permanently.”
