Benjamin Bewa-Nyog Kunbuor, a former defense minister and influential member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), said the level at which the umbrella family had been monetized was scary for him that he was ready to step down and stand up. join with another. political party.

However, his desire to affiliate with another political party is accompanied by a caveat, namely that this political party is implementing the ideas it defends in terms of social justice to create a better society for all.

"If I get a political party ready to implement the ideas I'm defending in terms of social justice to create a better society … no matter the name, if they start implementing these things and I'm confident that" they implement, I will join him. Even if it is the NPP that implements what I represent, I have no problem adhering to it, "he noted.

According to the former deputy of Nandom, who later became the leader of the majority of the Ghanaian Parliament, he is so saddened to see a party that he has helped to change his ideals and principles, wondering it was possible to decipher any difference. between Akatamansonians and other political parties in the country.

"Sometimes when I look back, I wonder if it's the party [NDC] we have all struggled for. It's very painful and sometimes you say well: either you are becoming obsolete or because some people will say that in African politics there are two things: if you are lucky not to be hit by a bullet your head, when you are too old, they will tie you a rope and drown you to the nearest pond. This is what I normally see serving in a political position in our part of the world, "he noted.

He added, "… but for NDC, what really hurts me is when I see how much the NDC has been monetized – so what's the difference between you [NDC] and another political party?
