Hearing by the Prof. Kwesi Botchwey led committee probing the 2016 election defeat of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party was once again interrupted following a fight between two internal opposing group in the Lower Manya Krobo Constituency on Friday.
The clashes led to injury of some supporters of the party.
Angry youth stormed the Somanya Community Center where the meeting was being held with placards in protest against their executives accusing them of collapsing the party in a constituency which is the NDC stronghold hence the party’s unprecedented shambolic performance in the constituency in 2016.
The NDC Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo, Hon. Ebenezer Oklaitey Terlarbi secured 19,710 representing 49.74 while his close contender from the NPP Foster Nuertey Ayertey polled 19,383 votes representing 48.91%
The branch executives and supporters of the party say, the NPP will completely capture the seat should the current current constituency executives led by Chairman David Walter and MP be maintained in 2020.
According to the aggrieved supporters despite the grassroot call for change of Parliamentary candidate during the primaries, the executives skewed the system to get the MP re-elected as Parliamentary candidate hence the poor performance of the party.
Watch video of the incident below:
The incensed supporters mostly branch executives also accused the Executives for creating division in the Lower Manya Krobo constituency.
On Thursday, similar confusion rocked the Prof. Kwasi Botchey committee in Koforidua when the aggrieved Constituency and branch executives of the party sacked their regional executives from the meetings

The national executive of the party are not doing enough to protect this process. All you need to do is to get some macho security men to accompany the committee to flush out all those trouble makers. Who knows, perhaps Npp has planted some hooligans in to come and disrupt our process. The leadership need to be smart and stop some of this unnecessary confusion. I don't see any reason why there should be confusion when we are only seeking view on why we lost. If there is some money to share, then the noise could be understandable but mere information gathering should not degenerate. There are most of us who are ready to serve as security at these meetings.
ndc is gone forever. more confusion to rock them. dont even know the essence of that committee bcos they already know what led to their defeat. Ghanaians were just tired of them and dont want to see their incompetent faces again
I thought NDC was the most united party in Ghana and John Mahama was a unifier, while Nana Addo was the most intolerant and the most divisive leader. Hahahaaaaaaa. The chickens are coming home to roost.
I hope they keep fighting and scatter so they will remain in opposition forever.
This fact finding is a wast of time we all know mahamah was n is the problem he is toooo greedy he was stealing with his family n Friends leaving ndc n Ghanaians
Folks if you are 'sitting your somewhere 'minding your own business and you hear members of the NDc are decapitating each other and using the heads to play football ,simply look the other way. It is all a quarrel about some people not getting some of the st0l3n l00t.
Eastern region @kyempe 50/50. Where is their chairman the indomitable Opo man.
3 months in opposition and you want to kill yourselves NDC.
John Mahama I thought you and your party have the are the must unity party ever in Gh. what happen eiii. three month and you people want to kill yourselves NDC ??.
