Legendary Ghanaian Highlife musician Rex Omar says he’s pleased to be with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and doesn’t see the need to join the New Patriotic party (NPP) which assumes power on January 7.
Speaking with Kojo Preko Dankwa on Kasapa Entertainment, he stated that he’s not perturbed following the numerous threats received by his colleague celebrities who endorsed the candidature of out-going President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC.
He noted that the reason why he can’t let go the NDC party is because he believes in their social democrat ideology.
“I endorsed the NDC since 2008. Despite the threat I’m getting from anonymous people I still don’t regret following the NDC and I’m a straight forward politician. NDC is founded on an ideology that makes them social democrat and I’m one of them. Ghana practices the multi party democracy system so we can’t be in one political party.”
When asked by the host how he feels about the NDC’s defeat in the December 7, he replied “I’m very worried Mahama didn’t win this election because I believe if he was given another 4 year term, he would have delivered and finished what he started.”
