The Functional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) with the approval of the Council of Elders has established a 13 member committee to investigate the cause(s) of the party’s abysmal loss to the NPP in the 2016 General Election and recommend the way forward.
The committee is chaired by Former Minister of finance and Chairman of the National Development Planning Commission(NDPC)- Prof Kwesi Botchway.
The Party is scheduled to address a press conference today-29th December, 2016 and outdoor the members of committee.
The committee’s terms of reference will also be announced at the news conference at the NDC headquarters in Adabraka, Accra. The incumbent John Mahama lost the polls to Nana Akufo-Addo becoming Ghana’s next president at the third time of asking.
The Former Attorney General of the erstwhile Kufuor regime obtained more than 50% plus one vote required to beat his main rival, President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress in the tight contest held December 7, 2016.
The president-elect will be sworn in on January 7 after a one-month transition period. Mr Akufo-Addo had lost previous elections in 2008 and 2012 but pulled through at the third attempt.

Auntie Abena, It does not lie in your mouth to tell Ghanaians how to react to the performance of the incoming government. Ghanaians voted the NDC in and voted them out. That should tell you that citizens have and reserve the right to change their minds if need be! Rather than acting like the fox did in the "sour grapes" episode, encourage your side of the divide to work hard to convince Ghana that they constitute a viable alternative. We didn't vote for angels and so do not expect to be governed by angels! Enough said!
fuuuuuls, you lost because you could not rig anymore. And you followed a deaddd gooooat. And you rely on iddddddiots like fifi kwettey, kofi adams, koku anydoho, felix ofosu kwachie, amissah arthur, mzbel, john dumelo, and other opportunists etc to do your campaigning. NDC is a fuuuuuuuuulish and stuppppppppid party. It makes sense for such a party to lose power. eddddiots
Eeii is like these NPP supporters as if they never thought of coming to power again after Nana Addo's victory. Hmmm just hope some of these guys would come out to make noise again after six months of seeing their so much anticipated Nana start failing. We wait to see. Ghanaians are ready to much you boot for boot just like you did to the out going administration
Where were the 13-Member conomtea when NDC formed the campaign team? Where were they when Nana Addo was their campaign message? What role did this conomtea play in the election? If they were fully involed, then have nothing to probe but to accept wholly that they have lost. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S DECEPTION THAT CAUSED YOUR DEFEAT, simplicita.
I can give you one reason why you lost. Elections are won at the polling stations but NDC has been winning at the EC strong room manipulations. Whiles NPP was campaigning with ideas and solutions, NDC was jubilating and calling Nana names (Opana, Oldman,)and doing Usain Bolt signs, ABAABAS3. I short NDC took Ghanaians for granted as NPP did in 2008
kwesi botchway is more than 70 years so of what use is a 70 year old man has for the ndc? you claim those who are 70 years have no heads now what has change? you see life? after giving positions to this greedy bastard boys collapsed ur party now u see how useful the old are? siaafoo
Oh NDC, why worry urselves. You always win through rigging: one person voting more than one at your strong holds, transmission as Kofi Adams admited and changing ballot boxes. Ghanains through vigilance prevented most of these criminal activities of yours. Moreso, through your own leaders bad actions which unfortunatly some Ghanaian youths learnt, there were no longer respect for the aged. An example is an excellent person calling his opponent who is 14 years older than him opana just because of politics. When a lot of Ghanians especially the youth realizing these kind of bad culture the ndc led by outgoing Prez JDM teaching the future leaders decided to vote them out. infarct we don't need them. Abaa. By the way can somebody help withe results from our university campuses?
Why commission a committee before you're out of Power? They want to use the government money to pay themselves before they leave! What's the hurry? It's not as if they would be re-organising tomorrow and it's not as if there's an election in January 2017?? They are going to lo0t all our coffers!!! Well, we would still chase them......
NDC lacks presidential material. Ghanaians are not prepared for people like Asiedu Nketia, Kofi Adam, Koku Ayidoho, Tony Aidoo,Omani Boamah and their sharp teeth family. Ghanaians can no longer endure their filthy language, which is their trade mark.
