DFP to ensure party grows in stature — Gen Secretary

the General Secretary of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), Mr Bede Ziedeng, has said everything will be done to ensure that the DFP grows in stature till the next congress in 2011.
In that connection, the party had set in motion strategies to ascertain the causes of its poor showing in Election 2008 and find means to better its lot in the next elections, he said.
Briefing the Daily Graphic, Mr Ziedeng hinted that currently the party’s Functional Executive Committee was putting finishing touches to a programme for nation-wide visits by a combination of some national and regional executive members to the regions, constituencies and wards.
The visits were first to determine the reasons for the party’s poor showing, find the views of the members and determine how best to position the party to perform better in the next elections.
He said it was usual and necessary that just after a major election the party went back to the drawing board to diagnose the problems it faced and make efforts to fix them.
“Losing an election is not the end of a political party,” he said, and assured the members that the national executive would do all in its power to ensure the growth of the DFP.
