The Greater Accra Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is experiencing internal tension following a dispute between Regional Chairman Ashie Moore and Regional Organiser Anthony Nukpenu, as reported by GhanaWeb.
The clash reportedly centers on the confiscation of a car, further fueling divisions within the party’s regional leadership.
Sources reveal that Anthony Nukpenu and Ashie Moore have been at odds for some time, with this latest incident exacerbating the strained relationship.
It is alleged that the vehicle in question was impounded by the Chairman under circumstances that have sparked significant controversy.
Nukpenu reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Chairman’s decision, viewing it as an abuse of power.
Party insiders suggest the dispute highlights deeper issues within the Greater Accra NDC, with concerns over leadership style and internal power struggles.
Observers worry that such conflicts could impact the party’s unity and effectiveness, especially as the 2024 elections approach.
Supporters of both parties have taken sides, with some backing the Chairman’s actions as a necessary assertion of authority.
Others, however, argue that such moves could undermine collaboration and trust among the regional executives.
This incident is not the first time internal disagreements have surfaced within the NDC.
Similar tensions have been reported in other regions, raising questions about the party’s ability to maintain cohesion ahead of key political milestones.
The national leadership of the NDC has yet to issue a formal statement on the matter. However, some party members are calling for urgent mediation to resolve the conflict and restore unity.
They believe that failure to address these issues promptly could weaken the party’s position in the Greater Accra Region, which is critical for electoral success.
As the NDC works to position itself as a strong alternative in the upcoming elections, resolving such internal crises will be key to ensuring a united front.
The Greater Accra Regional NDC leadership is now under pressure to address the situation and prevent further escalation.
For party faithful, the hope remains that unity and focus on the party’s broader objectives will ultimately prevail.
