The Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, Hon Ama Benyiwa Doe has stated that the NDC party is not collapsing even though they have lost five (5) by-elections.
Speaking in an interview with Peace fm, Mrs Benyiwa Doe said, despite their numerical disadvantage in Parliament, the NDC is still strong enough to make an impression. Hon Benyiwa Doe further stated that by-election seats do not remove a government from power but that it generates enough competition in Ghana’s politics.
She alleged that for the first time in the Gomoa District, macho men were brought in during an election to harass the electorate. She described it as very intimidating and said, such a practice must stop since it does not augur well for our young democracy.
Hon Benyiwa Doe further stated that even though the NPP has won all the by-elections held so far, that does not mean the party is popular and that the 2004 general elections would be the litmus test to determine that.
