Contained in a press release, Dela Edem questioned why the General Secretary feels that is the appropriate time to be pushing such an agenda particularly when the celebration has simply come out of nationwide constituency elections that have been riddled with many challenges.

He additionally said that it seems the non-public pursuits of the celebration CEO appear extra vital to him than the general outlook and efficiency of the NDC.

“Comrades, at a time when the NDC is holding essential constituency elections which have up to now been fraught with a number of challenges, together with unavailability and delays within the arrival of poll papers, lawlessness and indiscipline, the General Secretary of the NDC is embarking on a self -seeking launch of his bid to grow to be National Chairman of the celebration on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.

“Clearly, appearing to be putting the cart before the horse, Hon. Asiedu Nketiah thinks that his personal ambitions should supersede the larger interest of the NDC to the extent that he is not bothered by the numerous reports of challenges with the constituency elections,” he wrote.

Dela Edem additional questioned what it's that Asiedu Nketiah intends to do about the truth that some constituencies went forward to carry elections though there have been a number of problems with offenses associated to the polls.

“Have studies of some constituencies going forward with elections in flagrant disregard for directives by FEC and the National Elections Directorate for postponement as a consequence of some offences, come to the eye of the General Secretary of the NDC, and is he fascinated with imposing self-discipline and upholding the rules governing the honest peaceable and conduct of the elections?

“What about studies of some people who've arrogated to themselves the ability to cease elections in some constituencies with out the information of the celebration?

While these points linger on and have the potential of throwing all the inner election timetable off gear, the General Secretary of the celebration, who's the celebration's Chief Executive Officer charged with the duty of shepherding and steering the profitable conduct of those inner elections, is reasonably so mounted with the pursuit of his private ambition to the neglect of this all-important inner reorganization train,” he added.

Also, Dela Edem said, “why does the General Secretary, Asiedu Nketiah, seem to even be launching his marketing campaign for election because the National Chairman of the NDC when not even regional executives have performed so.

”It is price mentioning that the regional elections of the NDC will happen forward of the nationwide elections.

“As we communicate, I'm not conscious of a single aspirant for a regional place who has launched his marketing campaign wherever within the nation, not to mention the General Secretary of the NDC. Such a high-ranking celebration official, shouldn't be getting forward of himself at this vital time when management should present good instance.

“Let's not allow self-interest to drive us at this critical juncture. We must be bold to call a spade a spade and not a digging tool,” he added.

Asiedu Nketiah is hoping to unseat Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, the present National Chairman, in a race that has been described by many as an unhealthy one.
