The Greater Accra Regional Chairperson of the largest opposition party -National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Ade Coker, has stated that no member of the party in the Greater Accra Region will contest in the upcoming 2020 general elections as an independent candidate under his watch.
Mr. Ade Coker disclosed that one of his greatest achievements as Chairperson of the NDC is that he has ensured peace in the party under his watch.
“You see the seeming peace in Greater Accra, we have had a lot of altercations in the past,” Mr. Ade Coker responded when questioned on his legacy for the party.
Questioned on some members of his party members contesting as independent candidates in the Greater Accra Region in the 2020 general elections, Mr. Ade Coker explained that such information hadn’t come to his notice.
“It is never true. It has not come to my notice, I have heard snippets of stories but it hasn’t come to my notice. I can assure you.”
“In politics, we know the manoeuvres going on. Somebody who feels he cannot win the seat and trying to split our front is trying to stir up this kind of behaviour,” he added.
He stressed that the NDC will at all times, place the interest of the party ahead of that of any individual, adding that it was important for party members to adhere to the rules and structures of the party.
