The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is learning its lessons in a bitter way after resolving to hold primaries in the 45 re-demarcated constituencies. According to the chief scribe of the ruling party, the main opposition party will �sweat� in the newly created constituencies because they opposed the process that led to their formation. Speaking on Citi FM�s Campaign Trail on Sunday, Mr. Nketia stated, �the NPP will have an uphill task to convince the people in the 45 constituencies that they care for them because they stood openly and took a position against the creation of those constituencies.� �So I do not think that having fought against the creation of those seats as it where, they will be the first to be considered to occupy those seats,� he added. The NPP delayed its primaries following its attempt to prevent the CI 78 which sought to give legal backing to the re-demarcation of the new constituencies from maturing.
