Outspoken NDC activist Afrifa Yamoah Ponko has said the National Coordinator of the party’s 2016 campaign Kofi Adams must be sacrificed for the party’s defeat in the just ended December 7 polls, citing the circumstances surrounding the party’s defeat is unpardonable, and Mr Adams cannot absolve himself of blame.
President Mahama suffered a worrying defeat after he garnered just 44.40% of the total valid votes cast as against 53.85% of his main contender, Nana Akufo-Addo. Majority of the NDC Members of Parliament also lost their seats. This, according to political pundits, is the worst performance in the history of the ruling party.
Speaking on Abusua FM, the former Ejisu Juabeng MCE Afrifa Yamoah Ponko blamed the defeat of the NDC on the ineptitude of the campaign team.

“I laughed it off when I heard Kofi Adams saying he should be blamed for our defeat, he should stop irritating our ears; why should he accept the blame, why did he accept to be the National Campaign Coordinator when he knew that he was going to fail us? I mean why, it is an unforgivable sin. Andy Okrah and Kofi Adams need to be hanged for our defeat. They should have humbly rejected the offers when they were appointed. They have no excuse to giveâ€.
"This defeat is a serious blow to us, we are now going to feel the impact of our loss, our supporters are being vilified, killed, beaten everyday by New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters, watch the space, the harassment will be worst after the President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is sworn in office", he lamented.Â
