A founding member of the ruling National Democratic Congress is asking for a constitutional amendment to allow for early elections in the party. Clend Sowu believes such a move will end the needless bickering and power play in the party. His comments come in the wake of what has been described as a fierce media war between followers of ex-president John Rawlings and the sitting president John Mills. Mr. Sowu told Joy News’ Dzifa Bampoh the situation in the party is mind-boggling. “I am confused and don’t know who is telling the truth anymore,” he said. He said the party must take a re-look at making certain amendments to articles 2, 21, and 43 of the party’s constitution. He said the party’s constitution stipulates that a new flag-bearer be elected two years into an election if the party is in opposition but should be elected within the election year if the party is in power. Mr. Sowu contended that the election must be held in the first quarter of an election year if the party is in power. This he said will curtail future leadership challenges the party might be faced with. Play the attached audio for excerpts of the interview. Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
