The Council of Elders of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged its Members of Parliament, party leadership at all levels, and all concerned persons to refrain from further public pronouncements on the recent changes to the Minority leadership.
A statement signed by Chairman Alhaji Mumuni Iddrisu on Saturday, January 23, said it is time the party faithful need to be circumspect in order not to play into the hands of their detractors.
“The Council assures the rank and file of the Party of an early and principled resolution of the issues and ultimately, the NDC will emerge stronger and more united,” excerpts of the statement noted.
The Council of Elders further said it has initiated steps to act expeditiously on the petition and related matters.
It added that “We urge all members of the NDC to re-dedicate themselves to working for victory in the Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2024, to alleviate the suffering of the Ghanaian people.”
