Senior lecturer at the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana Professor Ransford Gyampoh, has cautioned that the egoistic attitude of some of the communicators of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) even in opposition, if not checked critically, will put the party in opposition for a long time.
According to Prof. Gyampoh, it appears some communicators of the NDC had not shed the arrogance that culminated in their party’s exit from government following the 2016 elections.
Commenting on the recent accusations by the NDC communicators as to what caused their defeat in last year's general election on Class FM, Prof. Gyampoh, stated:
“The NPP as a political party in government is just about implementing its campaign promises and if they succeed in doing so very well, the NDC will have a difficulty, they will remain in opposition for long."
 “Before the elections of 2016, there were so many allegations of corruption that were levelled against some party officials of the…NDC and I am sure the NPP will put in place measures to investigate some of these allegations and send people to jail. The more party officials and appointees soil their image by being found culpable of corruption, the longer the party will remain in opposition", he added.Â
Considering the recent accusations and counter-accusation in the NDC he further stated that:
“Again, listening to some party communicators, it appears they do not seem remorseful of their display of arrogance in their public utterances that contributed to their defeat. The more they go this way, the longer they will remain in opposition. So, in my view, there are so many things that are now currently working against them and there are so many things that they will have to work hard to surmount. They cannot afford to allow some of these comments coming from some top echelons of the party to also deepen the cracks and inflame passions against the party structures.â€
