"NDC has done some good too" - NPP Chairman

The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Esseku has commended Ghana’s major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for instituting multi-party democracy and nurturing it to survive. According to him, although some leading members of the NDC abused their positions, Ghanaians should not forget that “they have done some good too.”

Mr Esseku noted that democracy cannot thrive in the absence of strong, well-organised political parties. He therefore called on other political parties to engage in dialogue saying that ‘what joins parties together in a multi-party system is oneness in our commitment to addressing issues of national interest. We should always be talking, we may disagree, but that should not make us enemies.”
