The Weekend Statesman

"Too late to remain in NDC- Reformers", reports the Weekend Statesman on it front -page. According to the story, this was the solemn declaration of the NDC breakaway group, the Reform Movement, last Monday when they held their maiden press conference at the Presbyterian Conference hall in Accra.

"We began as an NDC pressure group. We called for democratic reform within NDC. We wanted NDC leadership to respond to the needs and aspirations of ordinary party members.... However, the resistance of sections of the NDC leadership rendered fundamental reform of that once great party impossible. For us therefore, the struggle to reform the NDC is a closed chapter. We are moving ahead"; the paper quoted Goosie Tanoh, Spokesman for the group as saying.
