Johnson Asiedu Nketia, National Chairman of the NDCNational Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, says he cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against adopting a top-down approach in organising its internal elections, but the party failed to heed his advice. According to him, the approach creates divisions within political parties because defeated presidential aspirants and their supporters often break into factions after internal contests. Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express, Mr Asiedu Nketia said the only way political parties can maintain unity after flagbearer elections is by ensuring a bottom-up electoral process that gives the grassroots a stronger role. And I warned them that the result of what they're doing will lead the party into breaking into factions," he added. Mr Asiedu Nketia argued that the current situation within the NPP after its flagbearer election reflects the challenges he had warned about, as the party struggles to maintain unity among its members.
