A flag bearer aspirant of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Goosie Tanoh says all is not well with his party in recent times.

He explained that things have changed in the party ever since they won the 1992 elections.

“Not all is well with NDC. Let me explain something to you: When NDC was NDC and when we organised the communities and mobilised the branches, we won the 1992 elections by 58 per cent, in 1996 we won by 57.6 per cent, in 2008 we won by 47,000 votes, less than one per cent. In 2012, we won by less than one per cent.

“All has not been well with the NDC, don’t deceive yourself. We lost massively in 2016 by one million votes. Don’t make a mistake and think only NDC members can win an election, we can’t.

“In the same way, not only NPP members can win an election, we need the people they call independent and floating voters who are about two to three million people, we need to attract them. In 2016, we did not attract them, ask yourself why? Shine your eyes," Goosie Tanoh told delegates at Dodowa in the Shai-Osudoku district as part of his 5-day tour of the Greater Accra Region.

He however urged the delegates to make a wise decision in selecting a flagbearer to restore the image of the party.
