Cooperation needed among political
parties
Accra, Sept. 17, Ghanadot/GNA - There is the need for more
cooperation and less suspicion among political parties for
true democratic growth, Nana Ohene Ntow, General Secretary
of the New Patriotic Party, said on Sunday.
He said whilst multi-party democracy was typified by the
formation of political parties based on differences or
similarities in ideology, key players within these parties
had to realise that the greater aim was to forge national
unity and progress.
Nana Ntow said this on arrival at the Kotoka International
Airport after leading a five-member Ghanaian delegation to
the Netherlands where they attended a conference on
collaboration between political parties of opposing views
for democratic growth.
He said whilst every true democracy was characterised by
differences in opinion and ideas, these differences had to
be harmonised for the sake of national growth.
The NPP General Secretary said once this was well
acknowledged, the full gains of democracy could be enjoyed
by a nation.
He said from the Netherlands, the delegation continued to
Brussels where they held discussions with the leadership of
the European Union on ways in which the Union could help
with the building of democracy in Ghana, which was noted as
a model for democracy in Africa.
The delegation, which was away for three days, consisted of
members of the New Patriotic Party, People's National
Convention, National Democratic Congress and Convention
People's Party.
