A political storm is brewing inside Ghana’s opposition ranks after veteran party stalwart Anita Desoso ignited controversy with a jaw-dropping allegation that has sent shockwaves through the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In what insiders are calling a political earthquake, Desoso reportedly dropped a bombshell claim suggesting that party appointments may be influenced by money — a stunning accusation that has triggered outrage, denial, and frantic behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
“Are Positions Being Sold?”
The explosive suggestion — interpreted by many as implying a “cash-for-appointment” culture — has left party faithful reeling. While Desoso stopped short of naming names, the implications of her remarks have fueled widespread speculation across political circles and social media platforms.
Critics within the party are demanding clarity. Is this an isolated concern? Or evidence of deeper cracks within the NDC’s internal machinery?
Party in Turmoil
The timing couldn’t be more dramatic. As the NDC seeks to project unity and readiness ahead of critical national political engagements, Desoso’s claims threaten to derail that narrative. Party insiders say emergency consultations are underway, with senior figures scrambling to contain potential fallout.
Supporters of Desoso argue she is courageously calling out internal rot. Others accuse her of airing internal grievances in public and handing ammunition to political opponents.
Silence, Denials, and Mounting Pressure
So far, key party executives have responded cautiously, with some dismissing the allegation outright while others call for internal investigations. The party’s communication machinery is now under intense pressure to address the growing public backlash.
Political analysts warn that if not handled swiftly and transparently, the controversy could damage the NDC’s credibility and electoral prospects.
A Defining Moment?
Will this controversy fizzle out — or mark a turning point in the NDC’s internal politics?
One thing is certain: Anita Desoso’s bombshell has detonated at the heart of the party, and the aftershocks are only just beginning.
