General News of Monday, 14 June 2021Source: 3news.comThe private legal practitioner who represented the Rasta students in court against the Achimota School, Mr George Tetteh Wayoe, has resigned from the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He said in a statement that the real social democratic discourse he hoped to see for the rapid development of the nation cannot be realised by the current style of the NDC. Yet, I refused to cross carpet because my social democratic nature and belief would not allow me. This is how strong my loyalty is in respect of the political ideology our Party is supposed to be manifesting. However, over the years, my resolution to continue to be a member of the NDC based on it being a social democratic Party, that puts this ideology in real practice has gradually diminished.
