The outgoing Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Central Region, Allotey Jacobs has said it is time for General Secretary Asiedu Nketiah to bow out.
He said Nketia, popularly known as General Mosquito, has served his time and the party now needs a new face.
“Asiedu Nketia’s time is over. His time has elapsed. His presence is preventing younger people in the party from contesting various positions, a situation which is very worrying, he moaned.
“There are younger people in the party who are capable of working so they should stop the musical chairs and shifting cultivation and allow new people in the party [to contest],” he said.
Allotey also said Asiedu Nketiah is to blame for the party’s defeat in the Central Region in 2016.
Mr Nketiah had declared at a recent news conference that he will seek re-election as the general secretary of the umbrella party because to him, he is the best person to pull the party out of opposition.
According to Mr Nketiah, he stands tall and unmatched when it comes to the party’s history and operational strategies.
