NDC Leaders In A Fight .....

....Over who will be president

The leadership struggles in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are not yet over, according to the Daily Guide.

The rank and file of the party are virtually being compelled to line up behind one or the other of three persons likely to become the party’s presidential candidate in the 2004 elections.

So far three personalities have emerged as hot favourites in the race to choose a leader for the party, trying to repair its image after its defeat in the 2000 elections.

The front liners are Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Presidential candidate in the 2000 elections, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, wife of the former President and Dr Obed Asamoah, former Attorney-General.

Professor Mills is said to be heads and shoulders above all the other contestants and has a public rating which is unmatched in the NDC.
