Members of the Asokwa-West Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have appealed to all constituencies of the party to give priority attention to the identification of the root causes of the recent factionalism within the party and help the National Leadership to flush it out.
They explained that the crave for supremacy by such factions in the party did not augur well for progress of the party, and if not quickly uprooted it could lead to disunity among the rank and file of the NDC.
The appeal was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Asokwa-West Constituency Chairman of the NDC, Mr Alex Sawyer Attivor and the Constituency Secretary, Mr Mustapha Sulemana and issued in Kumasi on Tuesday.
The statement noted that factionalism and the use of divide-and-rule tactics had never been part of the NDC and for that matter the National Executive should initiate more constructive moves for the resolution of all grievances on the quite and pave the way for a more cordial and peaceful national congress of the party.
They advised that the NDC should perceive itself as one big family and not as different groupings under one umbrella, and therefore, focus their attention at coming out with more strategic plans for winning the election in the year 2004.
The Asokwa-West Constituency congratulated Mr Nti Fordjour on his election as the Ashanti Regional Chairman and the new Executives of the NDC in the Ashanti Region.
While assuring the Regional NDC Executives of the fullest support and co-operation of the Asokwa-West constituency, they also asked them to work assiduously to increase the membership of the party in the region and to ensure victory for the party in the next coming general election.
The statement said the Asokwa-West NDC was confident of winning the Parliamentary seat in the year 2004 and urged the Regional Executives of the party to also evolve campaign strategies that would help the other constituencies also to capture the parliamentary seats in their areas.
