One of the candidates who recently contested the presidential primaries of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Goosie Tanoh, has called on the party to go back to their traditional form of engaging members.

According to Goosie, the NDC must go back to its roots of engaging farmers, teachers, butchers, barbers, hairdressers, drivers, etc. because that is the base of the social democratic base that supported the PNDC and the formation of the NDC in 1992.

He underscored the need for party members to develop the spirit of volunteerism, sacrifice, dedication and selflessness since these values helped in building the umbrella family and also won it power some years ago.

He encouraged the party to critic policies of government and identify the flaws and offer practical solutions.

To him, the party which is grounded on social democracy, would be the best managers of the economy and pro poor policies like the free senior high school, national health insurance among others.

Mr Tanoh said victory for NDC in 2020, would be possible if members show dedication and have fortitude to match the ruling government.

Former President John Mahama, the newly elected leader and flagbearer of the NDC, supported the Cadres Conference by sending Joyce Bawa Mogtari to represent him.

Former president Jerry John Rawlings, the founder of the NDC, also endorsed the conference by sending his representative, Dr. Donald Agumenu, to represent.

The NDC headquarters sent Kofi Attor to represent the party, so the Cadres Conference received solid endorsements from all sectors of the Party, organizers said.

It has now come to light that the Cadres of the Revolution gave birth to the NDC with their intelligence and intellectual depth; and any Leader or National Executives of the NDC who decide to ignore the value of the Cadres will do so to their own disadvantage and negative political fortunes, organizers added.
