The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed its presidential primary yet again, www.3news.com has gathered.
The primary was originally scheduled to have come off on Friday, December 7, 2018, in accordance with the constitution of the party to elect a flagbearer exactly two years to the presidential elections, if it is in opposition.
But misunderstanding over the nomination and filing fees for the flagbearer aspirants forced a change in the schedule.
January 26, 2019 was later agreed by all parties for the exercise.
But an injunction writ filed by two members of the party nearly forced an indefinite suspension of the primary but for an out-of-court agreement reached in court.
www.3news.com sources say the party has postponed the exercise to the last Saturday of February.
So far, seven party bigwigs including former president John Dramani Mahama have submitted forms to contest the primary.
Vetting has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 22 with balloting scheduled for Wednesday, January 23.

Planning for Presidential primaries is now a major issue? NDC DOOM DOOM DOOM.
NDC IS AFRAID TO DO ITS PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES BECAUSE THEY FEAR A BOMBSHELL OF MARTIN AMIDU. THEY KNOW VERY WELL THAT SUCH A BOMSHELL CAN DISTURB AND DISTABILIZE THE NDC PARTY. THEY THEREFORE WANT MARTIN TO COME OUT FIRST BEFORE THEY DO THE PRIMARIES.MARTIN ALSO FINDS HIS RELEASE CRITICAL AFTER NDC PRIMARIES FOR IT TO BECOME A BOMBSHELL, AND WOULD LIKE TO WAIT. AS NDC CONTINUE TO POSTPONE AND DELAY AT THE PERIL OF THEIR OWN AGENDA, MARTIM MIGHT BE COMPELLED TO RELEASE A LESS OUTSTANDING CASES AND RESERVE THE BOMBSHELL AFTER THE PRIMARIES IS DONE. MARTIN AND ASIEDU NKETIA HAVE ADOPTED WAIT AND SEE APPROACH, BUT THE STRATEGY IS MORE DISADVANTAGE FOR ASIEDU AND NDC SINCE MARTIN RATHER HAS A WIDER OPTION OF CHOICE TO DEAL WITH. NDC HOWEVER IS MORE RESTRICTED SINCE THE DELAY COULD BECOME DEVASTATING TO THE PARTY..
You can even decide not to hold your presidential primary and give it to Mahama on the silver platter,NDC will still loose massively. You want to come back and team up with people to establish another ponzi scheme to dupe Ghanains.
