Differences between NPP and NDC, the Reality
The two main political parties in our beloved country are the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress.
Since the inception of the fourth Republic, these two political parties have been ruling and manning the affairs of the country.
They have produced five Presidents for the country.
The National Democratic Congress with three and the New Patriotic Party (my political party) with two.
There are some differences between the two parties.
The NDC (using the plural) are better organized and disciplined than the NPP.
NDC members respect any instructions from their leaders. For instance, when the party advised their communicators to boycott the Peace FM, Morning Show with Kwami Sefa- Kai, they all adhered to it strictly.
You hardly hear any NDC sympathiser attacking, exposing or accusing the party in an open space.
When have you heard an NDC apparatchik using filthy language against their leaders, no matter their cardinal sins?
Even in opposition, they eschewed their differences and packaged, protected and marketed Mahama for the consumers (voters/ Ghanaians) to easily buy him.
They always express their disappointments, anger and disaffection in a conclave.
Have you remembered Prof Kwesi Botchwey’s Report?
Have you heard any NDC member run commentary on the Report? No!
They respected the directives of their leaders. They zipped their mouths for the sake of the party. Yes, discipline.
Today NDC is back in power with an overwhelming majority in Parliament.
Some of their members who went astray against the rules of the party were punished and even sacked from the party.
Yes, that was a party readying itself to capture political power.
What do we see in my beloved Party?
Ironically,in my party, those who are supposed to know better are those who go haywire to demean the party and some of its members in the eyes of the public. They speak loosely.
Interestingly, they are those who have benefitted hugely from the party/ government.
They are not ready to respect the instructions of the leaders they have elected.
In my political party, every one wants to speak via the media instead of using internal mechanisms.
Senior Party members are those who breach the rules and are ready to disown their party in the eyes of the public.
They don’t believe in the process of doing anything in a conclave.
We should be honest to ourselves as a political party that discipline as an important ingredient in the growth of a group is dead in our party.
BJ da Rocha,JH Mensah,Adu Boahene, Agyemim Boateng and other kingpins who have joined their ancestors are groaning in pain at what is going on in their political property.
Just three months in opposition, everyone is talking and just talking disgracefully against our own party.
I can predict that the Prof Oquaye’s Committee’s Report will be leaked to arm our opponents, the NDC.
You will soon hear some party activists, supporters and apparatchiks asking that the Report should be published when the Committee is done with its job.
Learn from your opponents for once.
In the current ninth Parliament, our 89 Mighty Members of Parliament are excellently performing.
They are making the NDC Majority look more like liabilities.
They need our prayers, support and encouragement, not the child play of rushing to the media to spew filthy words against your leaders and other party members.
Those party goons whose modus oprandi is to embarrass the party will fail in to.
We have to unite and recapture political power to salvage the country once again.
We should quickly stop the gymnastics and respect the internal rules and Regulations.
NPP is bigger than all.
Allah is watching us all not from afar but at a close range.
