A former director of elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, has declared his intention to run for the party's general secretary position.

He declared that in order to unify the party, engaging unhappy cadres and party members is his top priority.

Mr Ankrah asserted that the party, particularly those party members who felt abandoned in the past, needs to be united at this point.

“The general approach is to bring everybody on board. I know so many people. You know it’s not as if there is a deliberate attempt to sideline anybody, it’s just an evolution of the party and even the society.

“We are both physical and spiritual beings so you don’t want to have very key strategic people walking around with bitterness. Of course there is some bitterness which is unfounded.

“If you are harbouring bitterness in your heart for no reason, you will die, but people who genuinely feel they’ve been neglected there is a way to bring them back and bring the spirit of the party back. That is what wins elections and it is going to be a major thing and I’m well positioned to do that,”he added.
