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.

the rigging machine has broken down beyond repairs u just want to do something for your few supporters to see u still exist but please tell them the truth that with out your broken down rigging machine no victory for u again. we r waiting for your so called press conference n after that your founder too will come out to speak as he said at ur campaign launch at Cape Coast
Who told you that Ghanaians do not know what you people planned to do. Kofi Adams has already admitted that IT failed your party. You thought your rigging machinery would work again this time and you did not know the preparation the NPP had made for you. Thus, when they made their press conference you thought it was propaganda so you also replied with yours out of ignorance. You were also waiting for your 'plan' to work, which never came to pass. Please do not try to cook any explanation now. Do not be deceived, we know your rigging machinery through IT failed you. Your strategy will never work again since YOU only 'win' by rigging and the antidote has been found
ANYONE WHO SETS UP SUCH A COMMITTEE WAS NOT IN GHANA IN RECENT YEARS OR IS EXTREMMMMLY SICKK. WHO WOULD VOTE FOR MAHAMA WHEN IBRAHIM MAHAMA WAS SHOWING OFF STOLLLEN TAX PAYERS MONEY? WHO WOULD VOTE FOR MAHAMA WHEN DOING BUSINESS IN THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN DISCOURAGED BY HUGE UTILITY BILLS? WHO WILL VOTE FOR MAHAMA WHEN HE BUYS TREASURY BILLS WITH OUR OWN MONEY? WHO WILL VOTE FOR MAHAMA WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD RATHER SATISFY IMF THAN WIN THE ELECTIONS? I HOPE THIS BOLSHIT WILL NOT BE DONE WITH OUR MONEY! SET UP A COMMITTEE AND INVESTIGATE WHY THE BLACKMAN IS SOOO EAGER TO GIVE TAX EXEMPTIONS TO WHITE TIVES BUT ON YEARLY BASES INCREASES TAX FOR OUR OWN BROTHERS AND MAKE US POORER AND POORER
***barred word*** don't wait our time pls
@ Abena, So what was going on AGAINST MOTHER GHANA was good for you? ***barred word*** and Sharing, Inflating project prices. When Supreme Court ruled three (3) Years ago for the Government to REMOVE certain 10% on Petroleum Prices up-till now that percentage is there. People are going to ACCOUNT for that accumulated monies - NOW WITCH-HUNTING. It is Ghana money what some people has used their positions amassing for themselves. ACCOUNTABILITY GALORE in the coming Days.
I CAN'T THINK FAR. I want someone to explain what Campaign Manager of NDC (K.Adams) said that "NDC LOST THE ELECTION DUE TO THE IT FAILURE". It means NDC has NEVER won any genuine Election in the Country Ghana. Every time through WAYS and MEANS. If that is the case then, NDC will never again win a Election in Ghana again because the IT will from now going will NOT FAVOUR them
Prof. Kwesi Botchwey should lead the party into the 2020 elections.
Mohammed, that is the main reason why they should find out what went wrong and re-organise. Thank God you have angels to rule you. Never let me hear you complain.
THE PARTY APPEARS TO BE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT RE-ORGANISATION AND RE-BUILDING.
When this wasteful committee begins it's work, they should not forget few important factors that contributed NDC's humiliating defeat in the elections. 1. Tribal bigotry shamefully displayed by the NDC and mahama himself the chief culprit. If you analyze the results very well, you could see that the NDC lost most of the Akan areas in almost all the regions. This shows how the Akans stood up and vented their anger to show that, indeed we are the majority in Ghana and no other group could take us for a ride! 2. Another factor is that, the NDC might not have won the 2012 elections after all! Everyone knows that elections was rigged terribly! 3. Create, loot and share cri-min-al scheme used to rape the nation Ghana! 4. Naked Corruption from the presidency to the fo-ols soldiers! There are more, which I would outline and detail them in article coming up after the inauguration of the president elect.
