NDC UK/ Ireland chapter understands that members of the great NDC family feels aggrieved, upset, angry and disappointed about the recent defeat of the 2016 general election. The scale and shocking manner of the defeat is what has prompted the national executive of the party to put in place the Kwesi Botwey committee to investigate and found out from members and all interested parties the causes and reasons why we lost the election the way we did.

The committee is still in place and working, so the expectation is that anybody with any grievance or have anything to say will made a submission to the committee through the agreed and laid down format. It is rather surprising that some members including senior members of the party has chosen to go down the route of the media to air their grievances. Going down this route is certainly not helpful and will rather compound and complicate matters.

It is on this basis that on behalf of the UK/Ireland chapter and on my own behalf as the chairman appealing to everyone to take a sober reflection, cease fire and rather go to Kwesi Botwey committee with any grievance and anything we have to say.

What we need now is for us to re-channel our energies and rally behind the party's effort to regroup and reorganise. By all means let us talk, but let us do that within ourselves and to ourselves before we go out to talk to the nation as a party. We shall be back in power 2020.

Long live the NDC,
Long live Ghana.
Long live NDC Uk/ Ireland.


Kofi Kwakye
