One-member-one-vote system is practical, we have done it before – Asiedu Nketia
National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, says the party has no choice but to comply with the Supreme Court’s decision directing political parties to replace the delegate system with a more inclusive voting process.
National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has stated that his party must comply with the Supreme Court's directive to shift from the delegate system for selecting political candidates to a more inclusive voting process. Mr. Nketia pointed out that the NDC had previously executed a similar system during their 2014 internal elections, demonstrating their capability to adapt to new regulations.
On JoyNews' PM Express, he affirmed, "We don’t have an option; it is the law. It is practical; we have done it before." The Supreme Court's ruling, delivered by a 5-2 majority, deemed the delegate system unlawful and ordered political parties to include all in good standing members in internal primaries, granting them the right to vote.
Despite opposition from some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the court's decision is legally binding on all political entities. Asiedu Nketia assured that the NDC would undertake the necessary actions to align its internal electoral structures with the Supreme Court's one-year deadline.
