Meanwhile, the 13-member committee report captures a series of diagnosis from members of the NDC nationwide on why it lost the 2016 polls.
According to the chairman of the13- member committee, Prof Botchwey, he said that the 455-page document contains details of what led to the defeat of the NDC.
The committee’s responsibility was to among other things make recommendations for the restructuring and reorganisation of the party to position it for the next general election in 2020.
