The Greater Accra Regional Branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has joined the recent spate of presidential aspirant endorsements, declaring their support for President Mills ahead of the party’s July 8 Delegates Congress.
Regional Chairman of the party, Ade Coker told Joy News’s Dzifa Bampoh, the executives decided to throw their weights behind the president in order to ensure that he completes his Better Ghana agenda.
He said “we came this morning to look at the state of affairs of the party and then to look at the way forward, and the members here passed a declaration that they are supporting the candidature of President Evans Atta Mills for the 2012 elections and that is exactly what the people have said.”
Ade Coker refuted suggestions that some party executives like himself who are close to the Rawlingses seem to have deserted them, stressing that "the voice of the people say that this is where they want the party to go.”
He explained that the party delegates believe it is unwise to change a President midstream because history clearly shows that such a strategy will backfire.
He recounted how former United State of America’s Democratic Party, lost elections on two occasions when their sitting presidents, Jimmy Carter and J.F. Kennedy were changed by the party prior to elections.
“We feel that the President is doing a good job… We feel that at the end of the day the Better Ghana agenda he promised the people at the last polls will be achieved by him and we feel we need to give him the support and the concentration for him to achieve the Better Ghana agenda,” Mr Coker insisted.
