The Crusading Guide

The two Guides - The Crusading Guide and the Guide reports on the NDC Reform Movement in their front-page leads.

Under a banner headline: "NDC Reform Movement wins support!" the Crusading Guide says it is reliably informed that majority of the (P)NDC cadres at Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region are poised to support the Reform Movement (RM) on its agitation for reforms in the party.

It said some of the cadres who spoke to the paper on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, said they are committed to the proposal that there must be reforms in the NDC. They however fall short of stating if they will throw their weight behind the RM should if it is turned into a political party.

The other Guide says,
It said the Movement lacked logistics and funds to run a good administrative machinery needed for a party to compete in Ghana's democratic dispensation.

The RM had scheduled the end of this month for their grand conference bash where members are to deliberate and approve its charter and formally pronounce a succession from its parent political party, NDC, and come up with a name, motto, colours and symbol, the paper said. It however said at the time of going to press, snipers of information have it that all is not well with the RM.
