National Democratic Congress leadership developments

Overview

A Citizens Perception Survey conducted by Professor Smart Sarpong identified Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as the leading figure for party unity and leadership suitability. In the survey, Asiedu Nketia received 24.5 per cent regarding his ability to unite the party and 27.6 per cent regarding general suitability to lead, outpacing other figures such as Eric Opoku.

Following Nketia’s decision not to seek another term as National Chairman after a 21-year tenure, former Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidoho raised questions concerning Nketia’s potential presidential bid. Anyidoho questioned how Nketia would manage a bid for the flagbearership while working alongside individuals he characterized as “ardent enemies” who had previously conspired against him.
