The General Secretary of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, has called on all members of the party to supports the decision of the ruling government to let Ghanaians elect their own Metropolitan Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs). According to him, the main philosophy of the NDP is to give power to the people and hence believe the decision to elect MMDCEs will give true meaning to this philosophy. He has therefore called on all newly elected regional officers of the party to join forces in campaigning for YES votes for the referendum slated for December.
