It is with the soberest mood that I wish to communicate my utmost disgust at the violence that we all witnessed emanating from different venues of our national executive elections.

This boot-for-boot type of politics has been condemned by Ghanaians in the past and we must continue to do so.

As I watched the sad developments, I was overwhelmed by the certain disappointment that our great Founder and past patriots would feel to watch some bad nuts bring our party's identity into disrepute.

What an insult to the philosophy of social democracy that we have upheld since the beginning of our fourth republic! Our party needs dynamic and committed leadership with integrity that will set a good example for our youth to emulate.

Currently, the NDC seems to be in snooze mode. Alarm bells are ringing all around us and we continue to slumber at the ultimate peril of our party's chance to provide sound leadership again in this land.

We must learn from our last challenge at the courts that the election is won at the polling station which calls for greater vigilance and proper organization to deliver victory.

The perpetrators of these abominable acts were acting in the interest of one individual or another and not any representation of our party. It is disappointing that we have adults in 2022 who will risk their lives to unleash violence on others in service of someone they allegedly look up to.

Auch individuals by their exhibited character are not fit for public service and I wish to distance myself from anyone who condones such short-sighted behavior that brings us all shame.

I together with all law-abiding Ghanaians expect that a proper probe will unearth and expose the culprits and those who may have inspired them to act so criminally and distastefully to bring shame to our party.

I call on all newly elected executives to work diligently to squash all disagreement within our ranks and to realize that the stakes are too high to encourage disunity amongst us.

Ghana, now more than ever, needs a level-headed administration to take over the leadership and governance of this land and we must seize the opportunity to demonstrate in truth the qualities and values that engender trust from our fellow Ghanaians.
