Former Defence Minister Dr Kwame Addo-Kufuor has been appointed to chair a 10-member committee of the governing New Patriotic Party with a mandate to review the party’s performance in the 2016 general elections and also provide a strategy for the party to maintain power in 2020.
The NPP and its flag bearer Nana Akufo-Addo beat the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flag bearer, President John Mahama, in the 2016 polls.
Nana Akufo-Addo polled 53.85% of the total valid votes cast to beat Mr Mahama who managed 44.40%
The NDC has put together a 13-member committee led by Prof Kwesi Botchwey to review its performance and plan for 2020.
The NPP is following suit. At a news conference in Accra on Wednesday, 10 May, Acting General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu said: “The Addo-Kufuor Committee is a 10-Member Committee consisting of men and women who are true party members of credibility.”
Mr Boadu said the Addo-Kufuor committee is to “produce a clear, concise, but detailed report to form basis for the party’s campaign to win 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections, i.e. a strategy for 2020 elections; and, to provide objective review of the current state of the party”.
The Committee has six weeks to submit its report.

I wonder how the Committee will use six week to evaluate the performance of the party during the 2016 elections and use same to develop a strategy to stay in power after 2019. This should be a standing Committee that could probably work till the 2020 elections are over. The party leadership should know that there are several dynamics in politics and TIME is one of the most important determinants. SIX weeks is just too short for such a task please.
Perfect, NDC opposition 30 years.
TO RETAIN THE MANDATE OF WHICH PEOPLE IN 2020. UNLESS THIS HAPPENS IN MARS...... DO THEY POSSIBLY THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN THEIR GHETTOS,,,, AND ALLOW LOUTS TO RUN THE AFFAIRS OF THIS COUNTRY??? AND IF THE AGENDA IS TO PUT ADDO KUFFUOR AT THE FORE FRONT,,, KNOWING VERY WELL THAT THE EEEDIOT AND HIS GANG OF SUB STANDARD APPOINTEES HAD GOOFED,,,, AND FAILURE IS STARING AT THEM IN THE FACE..... AND WITH THE CURRENT THEATRICALS GOING ON,,,, THEN DEFEAT IS A FORE GONE CONCLUSION... AND THAT IS WHAT SURELY AWAITS THEM IN 2020
That can't be! Dr. Addo-Kuffuor is NOT the chair of that committee. The real chair is a law lecturer from the University of Ghana. How did you get this wrong, classfmonline.com?
