Dr. Kuuire Urges Support for Party’s Upcoming Membership Re-Registration Exercise

The 2016 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the Nandom Constituency, Dr. Richard Kuuire, has appealed to all supporters and sympathizers of the party to go out in their numbers to register when the party begins its re-registration exercise.

According to him, there was no better time to express ones support and love for his or her party than at a period when it was required for every loyalist to have their name and other personal details put into a single reference document.

“In every society where democracy is strongly exercised internally, it’s only proper and fitting that we reason together and do things in a manner that will promote our name as a party and further enrich our internal democratic processes” Dr. Kuuire told Savannahnews in a recent interview.

He intimated that, it was his desire to see a very credible register being prepared for all branches of the party in the Nandom Constituency and for that matter, all the 275 constituencies across the country.

“The NDC is believed to be one of the largest political parties, if not the largest, in our country. We usually boast about our huge size in numbers. But what is a party of great size if it cannot equally boast of a document like a register that contains names of legitimate party supporters”, he queried.

Dr. Kuuire therefore, encouraged all supporters and sympathizers to fully support the yet to be announced re-registration exercise, saying “encourage your fellow party members who have lost interest in the party to forget about what has happened in the recent past and register again”, he urged.

He also commended party supporters in the Nandom constituency for maintaining the peace in the area after the 2016 elections, urging them to continue to coexist peacefully and work hard towards victory in 2020.

The NDC is embarking on its reorganization and manual re-registration of members at the branch level across all 275 constituencies in the country.

This exercise is part of the implementation of the Professor Kwesi Botchwey Committee’s report and seeks to also ensure unity and cohesion in the party at the grassroots level.

The manual re-registration would later be migrated onto a biometric register, intended to create greater and broader participation in the party’s internal election processes as well as ensure credible outcomes.
