Vote for people with merit & commitment in NDC forth-coming Conference urges UCF of NDC 


The United Cadres’ Front of the National Democratic Congress has called on the rank and file of the Party, especially those who qualify to vote, to look for people of merit and commitment and vote for them to occupy Constituency, Regional and National Executive positions during the forth-coming Conferences of the Party.
 
The call has been made in the light of the fact that the Party needs men and women of timbre and calibre to steer its affairs in order to be fully prepared for the 2016 general elections.
 
This was contained in a statement issued in Accra and signed by Efanam Felix Nyaku General Secretary, UCF of NDC and copied to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC)

The statement says the UCF is highly convinced that the task ahead of the Party is surmountable if the elections are taken seriously to elect officers who are bent on carrying on and deepening the basic tenets of probity, transparency, integrity and accountability that have been the pillars of the Party’s mobilization and organizational efforts since 1992. 

It said there is little doubt that the structures of the Party are either non-functional or non-existent; adding that it is also true that the proverbial ’singing the same hymn and reading from the same page’ that characterized the revolutionary era has lost on the Party such that there is little sign of central direction.

“We cannot run away from the fact that infiltration of individuals and groups for power, recognition and economic gains has broken our collective front by planting factionalism, individualism and personalization to the point that the great NDC has almost lost its vim, and dynamism. “ the statement added.

According to the statement, such negativities have had serious organizational consequences by way of inactivity of the structures and offices of the Party at all levels, alarmingly affecting its attraction.

The statement asked that those who have the mantle to take part at every level of the elections must therefore remember that, it is only by voting on their conscience and personal conviction – devoid of any underhand dealings - that the right people will be put at the right positions to strengthen as well as brighten the Party’s chances of winning the 2016 general elections.
