National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has warned of dire repercussions for the country's fledgling democracy should the citizenry opt to go for a 'Yes' choice in next month's referendum.
He has therefore urged Ghanaians to vote 'NO' in the upcoming referendum to maintain the unity in the country in general, and in the assembly electoral areas, in particular.
The two leading political parties in the country are at each other's throat over whether Ghanaians should go for a 'No' or 'Yes' vote in the upcoming referendum that could introduce multi-party sponsorship of candidates at the local level provided the electorate votes 'YES' on December 17.
Debunking claims that members of the opposition party have deliberately taken an entrenched position because the ruling party is on the 'YES' side, he strongly insisted that he has over a hundred and more reasons why the election of MMDCE's should not be made partisan.
"Vote 'YES' during the upcoming referendum and see Ghana creating an NDC/NPP market and communal labour days," Sammy Gyamfi warned.
He dared on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' political panel discussion segment that if the 'Yes' carries the day, everything in the country will eventually be politicized.
"I bet you and it is the truth that nothing will be left out in this country not being tagged with party colours should 'YES' win the December 17 elections," he added.
The NDC's National Communications Officer further accused the President, Nana Akufo-Addo and members of his party of "seeking to destroy Ghana, through their call for the referendum on a practice that has existed for the past 47 years and counting".

Vote No for piece of mind. If MPs were voted for without any party politics they could have given Ghanaians good laws, Ghana could have prospered by now.
Please you have been very charitable with this bunch of cri-minals and thi-eves. they are simply unwise, the interest of the country is not on their heart, they are selfish, greedy bastards, bootlickers, babies with sharp teeth, looters, visionless, naive and above all block-headed and thick-headed. Are we not in Ghana when Sammy Gyamfi's position was popularly called "PROPAGANDA SECRETARY? This has metamophorsed into COMMUNICATION OFFICER, pleas note that, it is the container or the bottle that has changed, the wine still remains the same. Ghanaians, please open your eyes very well.

TheDo not sell your birthright to NDC and NPP in the selection of a befitting Assemblyman and MMDCEs for your area. I am for election of MMDCEs on non-partisan basis. If you a lawyer, PROFESSOR, pilot,nurse,Dr, Driver, teacher, farmer without leaning or joining any political party . you should have equal chance of being elected as assemblyman or MMDCEs. Making it political, NDC and NPP will outmuscled independent candidates .Since 1992, pause and ask yourself how many truelly independent candidates won elections. Very handful. The likes, Gbeho, Joewise,Shabaa won. There were mostly disgruntled members of either NPP AND NDC. Naturally, the nos of Assemblymen and MMDCEs will be more than current 275 parliamentarian, naturally morality will be higher. HAVE you THOUGHT of HOW BY-ELECTIONS will be conducted in a partisan District election. How to resolved acrimony in a by- election? ARE we PREPARED TO CONTAIN AYAWASO WEST WAGON MAYHEM like? vote no to save Ghana from being hijacked by NDC and NPP in acrimonious by-election There are two issues at stake for now. Election of MMDCEs and secondly ,should the election be on partisan. I humbly suggest, First in first out. We can decouple the two issues. We can start first by electing MMDCES on non partisan nature . and in future consider the second options of electing them on partisan platforms if plausible. Vote no for Peaceful ,United Ghana
I don't understand what Prof Ahwoi meant by the Yes vote carrying the day, cause brexit in the NDC? In any case, how did Mahama become an Assemblyman? Are we to take it that he became an Assemblyman and it was political party colour-blind?
The NDC must be serious for once! If we vote for the President and the MP on party lines and there is no problem, how on earth will voting to elect the Assembly Man cause any problem? This is against common reasoning! As a they should be thinking of better things they can do for the people. This stance will not benefit the nation in any way.
The NDC is directly telling us that they (NDC politicians) are terrible, divisive people. Yet they still try to convince us that they are good enough to govern this country? I think that any rational Ghanaian will vote against this NDC bunch of desperate 1diots who denigrate the very organization they constitute. Ghana does not deserve such divisive characters like NDC and its members. I politics is that bad, the NDC is very very evil!
It pains my heart that most Ghanaians accept negative comments all the time. We are not positive thinkers at all. Why? Do we have NDC Sports Stadium and NPP Sports Stadium in this country? What about NDC plane and NPP plane? NDC road for NDC drivers and NPP roads for NPP drivers? People must use their heads instead of their hearts to see this country move forward. I and my family will vote YES!
A confused bunch of people. If you know politics is so polarising, why do you keep playing polarising politics? The very people who are polarising our politics are the same people who are saying that politics will polarise people. Isn't that stup!d!ty?
IN MY OPINION THESE ASSEMBLY THINGS SHOULD BE OUT OF POLITIC. CANT YOU GUYS SEE GHANAIANS ARE TIRED OF POLITICS? POLITICIANS WILL KILL US OO. HMMM WE ALWAYS VOTE FOR THESE ASSEMBLY THING PEACEFULLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND NOW YOU GUYS WANT TO READ POLITICS INTO IT THEN WE ARE DOOM. MUST EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY BE POLITICS?
When koraa would Sammy Gyamfi and his N.D.C. people will think any positive for Ghana. We tired of your negative words. Tomorrow weyi beba, atsena weyi be sisi adei N.D.C. ya bremo
