Even if Konadu leads NDP, NDC is poised to win - Segbefia

Deputy Chief of staff, Alex Segbefia says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is poised to win the December polls irrespective of who the breakaway party, the National Democratic Party (NDP) picks as its flagbearer.

Mr Segbefia who spoke on Radio XYZ’s current affairs programme, The Analysts was responding to the possibility of Mrs Rawlings emerging as the flagbearer of the NDP in the December polls.

He noted that even if Mrs Rawlings agrees to lead the NDP, that will not be the first time people from the same household, will differ on political line.

“We are poised and ready to fight for the election. All other contestants who wish to get into can do so. That is the beauty of the democracy that we have,” he said.

He said individuals in the Ala Adjetey and the Jinapor families belong to all the various political parties yet they are still related and that Mrs. Rawlings joining the NDP will only strengthen the countries democratic credentials.
