Nothing has changed in the NDC- DFP National Treasurer

It appears the intense uproar against the merger of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) and the National Democratic Party (NDC) will not end anytime soon as the next person to register her dissatisfaction is the former National Treasurer of the DFP, Ruby Aba Folson, who says the decision by the party to join the NDC was not collectively taken.

She said, in an interview with Xfm 95.1, that the DFP executives did not involve all the stakeholders of the party before their final migration to their mother party. According to her, she dissented her party's decision and willingness to smoke the peace pipe with its parent party, NDC, on the premise that the NDC harassed them during the Koforidua Congress in 2006.

Her explanation comes after a section of the DFP, yesterday, held a press conference spelling out their disagreement with the decision by the life patron of the party, Dr. Obed Asamoah, to tie the knot with the NDC.

She stated that the move by the DFP doesn't restrain the members from opting out of the bond. She expanded further that a greater number of the DFP members at the various constituencies are opposed to Dr. Obed Asamoah's eagerness to return to the NDC.

The DFP former National Treasurer intimated that the executives and the members of the party couldn't reach a consensus to support their movement to the NDC. "The decision made by the executives of the Democratic Freedom Party which is the DFP that they are going back to their mother party which is the NDC. To me, it wasn't a consensual kind of agreement"

She pledged her commitment to her "mother party", the New Patriotic Party, saying that the circumstances that led to the formation of the DFP have not changed.

Ruby Aba Folson underlined that the harassment that was impinged on the DFP still lingers in the NDC and asked; what has changed in the NDC?
