Without blaming the previous national executives for opposition National Democratic Congress’s (NDC’s) defeat in the 2016 election, the National Organizer Kofi Adams has categorically stated the previous national executives of his party left weak structures for the current executives.
According to him, the NDC current national executives took over weak structures but they are putting measures in place to ensure that the next leadership work with solid structures.
Revealing the strategy to ensure solid structures in NDC, Kofi Adams on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show opined that there is a need to focus on the structures of the branches of the party and make them solid with accurate membership record.
“We need to focus on our branches and put branch structures in place and help to make the branches very solid as the Regional and National Chairmen have indicated. Very soon, we will send membership books to the branch executives to work on the branches and it is due to the past mistakes that we are making changes in the membership of the party”, he revealed.
He maintained that the membership books will empower the branch executives to know those members who are paying their dues and that they have not just joined the party to only vote for certain executives and parliamentary candidates; as was done in the past.
“This will stop people who are not members from attaining membership cards of the party. I know it is not everybody who will be happy about this new move because it will disrupt some people’s activities, but it will help the party ultimately and so all of us must accept the changes we are making in the membership of the party”, he stressed.
He added that “the next leadership to take over NDC should be handed a party with all its structures working effectively and appropriately. Honestly, we took over weak structures in NDC but we must make sure that we hand over to the next leadership very solid structures”.
He asserted that at the end of the restructuring exercise, the membership of NDC will be known from the branches, the constituencies, the regional and to the national levels; thus, the work of the next national executives will be easier to attain power in 2020 election.
“When we talk of membership, then we know our members; our branch executives will know their members and the constituency executives will also know their branches as well as the Regional knowing the constituencies and the National executives knowing the Regional members and the work will be easier for all of us. We want proper data on NDC membership”, Kofi Adams revealed.

When have you ever been honest talking about honesty. Tweaaaa.
Kofi has taken his meaningless attacks on the NPP to the old executives of his own party. His so called weak executives rather won elections only for the strong ones to lose it? This can only come from Kofi Adams and the NDC. STILL IN A COMFORTABLE LEAD ABI?
Another Id..iot , a big mistake, and a mummmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuu with the title National organizer of the NDC. This guy has cotton in his head. You took over from a winning team and you called that weak structures. Non.s.ense person.
I think this statement is very infantile. A weak structures was able to win you power. And the strong structures threw you into opposition. It will be suicidal for any of the old executive except Mosquito. The old executives had their foot on the ground and understood the essence of meeting the needs of the foot soldiers. The current executives neglected them and the result is you in opposition. You better ***barred word***!
I thought the NDC was in a comfortable lead. Go home and build your structures and come back after 24 years.
You don’t want non-Ndc people (think ‘aliens’ and ‘foreigners’) to join your party, but you want real aliens and foreigners from Togo to vote in Ghana so that Ndc can win an election. Kofi Adams face like he hasn’t come out of the jungle before! SmDh!
Dead goats like Kofi Adams should have been made to resign immediately after the elections. The fact that they are still there and talking in these capacities just shows that NDC is not willing to take bold steps to revamp the party. They are sure headed for another defeat.
But Kofi, you people made us believe that you were more organized,United and more focused than the NPP, what happened? It's not about structures,my brother,it's the message.While Nana Addo was preaching Free education,one district one factory,new regions etc,you and your members were preaching insults, negativity,Nana Addo is this Nana Addo is that. You rather made him popular as you are still doing and the only name we were hearing was Nana Addo. Structures,even if your use (GHACEM,DANGOTE,CIMEF,DIAMOND,CLAY) or whatever and no message,it will not stand.It is too late to recognize that the grassroots is neglected.Build your structures for 2040 but not any time now.You have been rejected like when God rejected Saul over the people of Isreal.Take note 2040.
Kofi Adams your skull is filled with mashed potatoes, no brain tissues left. Gyimiiiiii
Lazy current executives. You just didn't work hard enough. You thought insults and propaganda would win you elections. Look at the problems Afoko and KAA gave the NPP? Yet they organised and won an election. Stop the blame game, realise where you fell short and reorganise yourselves. It's a much sensible option than apportioning blame. Lazy executives!!!!
