National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged the party's top members to avoid disputes over positions in a potential Mahama administration.

He emphasized the importance of focusing on winning the 2024 general elections rather than engaging in internal conflicts that could distract them.

“Because we’re convinced that we are there, a lot of people have begun taking positions and fighting over who will be what in the next government. Some people are not only fighting about the positions they will occupy. They are telling all others that they will be the kingmakers and they will be making appointments.

“If we’re not careful, this will dampen the enthusiasm and the spirit of our followers. I want to assure everybody that we’re not there yet. Don’t be fighting about positions, and don’t be talking about who will make appointments. Let’s all go for the hunting first and when we kill the game we can now argue about sharing of the meat.”

Asiedu Nketiah issued this advice during the formal presentation of Prof. Opoku Agyemang at the Kofi Ohene Konadu Auditorium at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).

He also cautioned against complacency, warning that internal disputes could diminish enthusiasm among NDC followers, despite favorable polls.

Meanwhile, his comments have received harsh criticism from several political figures, including former Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidoho.

Mr Anyidoho believes the comments suggest that the NDC is focused on sharing the nation's assets instead of seeing to its continuous growth.
