The National Democratic Congress has asked party faithful to stop campaigning for candidates or party members who are interested in the party's flag bearership come 2020.
According to them, the party is in a reorganization process and party members should work towards that.
With about two years to go for the National Delegates' Congress to elect a flag-bearer to lead the NDC into the 2020 elections, there is already pushing and shoving on the frontlines of the party, as interest groups begin to test the waters for their preferred candidates.
Some appointees in former President John Dramani Mahama's administration have long indicated their preparedness to support him in the event that he decides to run again.
But speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' Programme, National Organizer of the party, Kofi Adams explained that the Kwasi Botwe committee's report has asked that the party be reorganized and re-branded for 2020 and that's is what they are committed to do.
"Those aspiring to be flag-bearer and are outdouring their posters should focus on reorganizing at the grassroots and constituency levels," he said.
Some names such as a former Trade and Industry Minister, Dr Ekow Spio-Garbrah; a former Vice-Chancelor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof. Joshua Alabi; a former Vice-President, Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur; a former Chief Executive of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Mr Sylvester Mensah, and the current Minority Leader in Parliament, Mr Haruna Iddrisu are popping up as possible prospects.
However, only one person, Nii Amasa Namoale, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Dadekotopon, has been bold enough to state that he will contest the NDC flag-bearer race, on condition that the former President declines to join the race.

Money 'choppers' and steallers'. who wants you again. You have spoilt the country enough!!!! And not satisfied?
Ndc is not an attractive party so who cares? Whether rebranding or reorganization none is relevant to Ghanaians. We the good people of Ghana have decided ndc is no option,ndc is not coming back today or tomorrow. We need a head that sleep on a pillow and dream big not akpeteshie and foodian heads. We don't need people who can't think outside the box,people who can't think kritically all the do is merry making,show of power,power from above,arrogance,corruption,ste*ling with impunity,destroying every good thing for the country because they think Ghana must be ruled like in the jungle for them ndc to stay on forever. Who in the ndc is not corrupt so fit to stand for the presidency? Joshua Alabi has destroyed SSNIT,Sylvester Mensah has destroyed NHIS,Spio Garbrah didn't make any impact at the trades ministry and Haruna Iddrisu is filthy rich through corruption,John Mahama is the commander in chief of corruption and ste*ling so who is clean in the ndc? Tweeeaaaaaaa!apuuuuuuuuuuu! President Nana Addo no SIZE 2020 koko 63% NPP, NDC 30%
I will contest the flag bearership If Prof Joshua Alabi is not in the contest.
The early bird catches the worm. Momentum does not happen at once. Momentum is gained gradually. The "reoganization process" must include people who can make their intentions known early. If one fails to prepare, one must be prepared to fail. Preparation is the Key. Time is of the essence. Four years will roll by before you know it. Speed up the reorganization process. People need time to make up their minds politicaly. Lay out a plan and follow it. Winners do not quit. Quiters do not win. Do not introduce prograstination and complecancy. Keep moving.
kofi adamu mahama's boy is not happy with the others decision to change his incompetent mahama. i dont know if he understands the meaning of the word re-branding. bring back mahama and it will be another cool chop for npp if though we might want to change them in 2020. ndc will need about 15-20 years to re-brand and clear that corruption and incompetence tag on their head before we can consider them again. thi..eves
