MP calls for unity in NDC

  Mr Aquinas Tawiah QuansahMr Aquinas Tawiah Quansah, the Member of Parliament for Mfantseman, has called for peace and unity within the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said reports from some of the constituencies indicated that all was not well within the party.

Mr Quansah urged the leadership of the party to take immediate steps to settle misunderstandings within the NDC.

Mr Quansah, who is also the Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, said this when he spoke to newsmen after the confirmation of Mr Henry Kweku Hayfron as MCE for Mfantseman.

He said if immediate action was not taken to reconcile party members at all levels, it would impact negatively on the government’s development agenda.

The MP said that as a ruling party, it was incumbent on it to support the government in its development agenda.

“How can the  government’s vision of the Better Ghana Agenda be implemented if the party becomes fragmented?” he asked.

Mr Quansah said the disunity within the party had led to some assembly members rejecting most of the government’s nominees as municipal or district chief executives.

He appealed to the government to institute measures to protect the municipal or district chief executives from machinations of party executives in the constituencies.

He said agitations for the removal of municipal or district chief executives were the work of party executives and that had been affecting the government’s programmes. He called for an end to them.
