NDC WANTS “Sell-out” Koku Anyindoho Banished From Party

A member of the opposition party National Democratic Congress (NDC), Eric Adjei has filed a petition with the National Executives Committee (NEC) of the party to expel Samuel Koku Anyidoho from the party for apparent flirtation with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP)

In the petition filed today, January 20, 2021, Mr. Adjei wants Mr Anyidoho, the former Deputy General Secretary of the NDC expelled on “grounds of misconduct contrary to the express provisions of the Constitution of the NDC and for actions and inactions that are inimical to the progress” of the party.

The petitioner outlined many examples from Twitter posts made by Koku Anyidoho that clearly exhibits his preference for the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP)’s political narratives.

 According to Mr Adjei, “This petition is grounded on many instances, ill-will speeches accentuated by malice and calculated to subject the party public ridicule.”

In the petition, dated 20 January 2020 and addressed to the NEC Chairman of the NDC, the petitioner noted that Mr Anyidoho “has consistently on his official Twitter handle made pronouncements which damage the reputation of the party.”

Some of the cited Twitter messages include one on January 16, 2021, where Mr. Anyidoho stated unequivocally that he will not speak for the NDC because he claims the current General Secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia had once “decreed! That he had no locus on speaking to particular issues in the party.

Critics think such excuses from Anyidoho are attempts for him to extricate himself from the party, particularly when it has become clear that he is parleying with known communication strategists of the NPP, including Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako.
