The National Democratic Congress (NDC), according to former Greater Accra Chairman Joseph Ade Coker, is in danger of losing the Odododiodio seat if the problems surrounding the party’s parliamentary primary in the district are not properly resolved.
Following a violent incident at the Greater Accra Regional office during the screening of candidates for the constituency, the party has postponed all procedures associated with the parliamentary primary in the Odododiodio Constituency.
The violence was then submitted to a special committee for inquiry by the NDC’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC).

Speaking on the Face to Face show on Citi TV, Ade Coker stressed the importance of handling the issue properly to ensure that the party does not lose the seat in the 2024 general elections.
“If they don’t handle it well, we will lose that seat, and people must be up and doing because people who have gone to contest in that constituency don’t deserve to be there because that is not their constituency. There is a former NPP person who has been brought in, and he is contesting contrary to the party’s constitution, demanding that he should have served the party within a timeframe before contesting. Unfortunately, there is another person who is a former MP for Amasaman who should have gone to Amasaman to ensure that they win the seat again, yet he is contesting at Odododiodio.”
