The National Coordinator of the Cadres under the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Antwi Boasiako Sekyere has justified the commemoration of the June 4th and 31st December revolutions.

According to him, the two revolutions ushered Ghana into contemporary multi-party democracy that the country is currently practicing.

He said December 31, 1981 revolution created firm bases for the attainment of social justice, grassroots participatory democracy, political accountability and rapid national development.

Mr Boasiako Sekyere said this when he welcomed Cadres to a day’s workshop organised for cadres from five regions.

The conference was to bring the leaders of cadres in the northern part of Ghana to take stock of NDC revolution so far and map up strategies for the way forward.

Mr Sekyere maintained that the NDC as a social democratic party provided a natural home for the progressive wing of the society, especially hard-working Ghanaians including market women, farmers, fishermen, students, progressive intellectuals, the disadvantage and the downtrodden.

He also said the NDC became the most formidable political movement in the country with its electoral prose but seems to have lost focus on its social democratic philosophy and abandon its grass root mobilisation and organisation causing apathy among many of its supporters leading to the most painful defeat in 2016.

Mr Sekyere, however, commended the current leadership for working tirelessly to reconstruct the structures of the party, especially the branch level adding that the adoption of the grass-root manifesto which was ridiculed by governing NPP has now been acclamation.
