NDC SET UP COMMITTEE TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES (PAGE 12, JAN 19, 2011)

THE Upper West regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has set up a committee to resolve differences within the party to ensure a united front towards next year’s general elections.
Differences beyond the committee will be referred to the appropriate quarters for early and amicable determination.
In addition to this, the party has also re-constituted a disciplinary committee to deal with members whose stock in trade is to spread false information about some personalities within the party in the region.
These were some of the outcome of a meeting between the core regional executives, District Chief Executives (DCE)’s and ministers of state from the region.
Briefing the Daily Graphic after the meeting, the Regional Secretary of the party, Mr Eric Dakurah, said the meeting also discussed how to mobilise resources to fund the activities of the party.
“We want to support the major wings of the party, particularly the youth and women’s wings which are dear to the heart of the party,” he added.
He said indiscipline among some party members had been of grave concern to the party hence measures had been introduced at both the constituency and regional levels to arrest the situation.
“We will not spare the rod as errant members will be dealt with per the NDC party’s constitution,” he warned.
Mr Dakurah said a programme had been drawn to visit all the constituencies in the region to listen to aggrieved members of the party and their concerns to ensure a stable and united front.
According to him, unity was paramount and the surest way to win elections, adding that “we have resolved to retain all seats won in the last elections and re-capture the lost ones.”
He said a post-mortem analysis of the 2008 elections was being done to address all weaknesses.
Mr Dakurah advised those interested in becoming Members of Parliament and flag bearers to be guided by the party’s constitution.
