Ghana Election 2016: NDP to merge with NDC .

The founder and Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP) has revealed of merging with the National Democratic Congress ahead of the 2016 polls.

According to Josiah Ayeh, in the middle of 2015, the NDP had made overture to the party it broke away from barely four years ago calling for partnership.

Mr Josiah Ayeh told tv3network that, "We said we were open to meet with them and to have broad discussions with them…to meet with the NDC, the presidency or whatsoever to see if we can have any movement forward."

However after months of deafening silence and apparent snub from the NDC, Josiah Aryeh has accepted that going into the 2016 elections with a united front is a “far cry”.

Reuniting, Dr. Aryeh noted, would hinge on "a series of meetings then you can be able to move slightly closer and be talking about things like that or even going to an election with one candidate that I think is too far off."

Asked if the party would have really wished for a partnership, he answered rather coyly, “that is why we wrote to them in the first place to see whether there can be any productive discussion regarding those things”.

However after months of waiting expectantly, "it doesn’t look like the NDC is interested."
