Defectors
return to the NDC
Ho, July 4, Ghanadot/GNA
– Over 130 former members of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) said to have jumped ship to the Democratic
Freedom Party (DFP) prior to the 2004 elections have
returned to the NDC fold.
Prominent among them were Mr T.K. Ayi and Mr Manfred Nuku
Dei, until now the Regional Chairman and Regional Secretary
respectively of the DFP.
The returnees were inducted into the party by Mr. Ludwig
Akpene Hlodze, Deputy National Organiser of the NDC.
Mr. Kofi Adams, also a Deputy National Youth Organiser of
the NDC said rather than scare away those who have deserted
the Party, the NDC would work assiduously to win such people
back into its fold.
He appealed to the returnees to go all out explain policies
and programmes of the NDC government to the people for the
party to consolidate power.
Mr. Adams, however advised them never to commit the mistakes
of the past but stand firm and work hard to win the
confidence of members of the party.
Mr. Modestus Ahiable, Regional Chairman of the party urged
its members to remain dedicated and focused because “honesty
in words and action are the attributes of true love and
dedication”.
He appealed for calm as “there are a lot of opportunities
for all in President John Atta Mills’ better Ghana”.
Colonel Cyril Necku (rtd), Deputy Volta Regional Minister
said the come-back journey of the deserters was a great
honour to the NDC.
“With your return, the enemies of the party are beginning to
panic,” he observed.
Mr. Nuku-Dei who spoke of behalf of the returnees said their
departure could simply be described as “an observation
mission” and assured them of their commitment to the goals
of the NDC.
He appealed to all to put aside memories of bitterness and
work hard for the sustenance of the party.
