A 21-year era is coming to an end at the NDC headquarters, former Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho writes about Johnson Asiedu Nketiah's decision to opt out of the National Chairmanship position.
In 2005, at Koforidua, we elected him as General Secretary to replace the then embattled General Secretary (GS), Dr. Nii Armah Josiah Aryeh (may his soul RIP).
He has been the longest serving General Secretary and the first person to move from General Secretary to National Chairman.
