The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is facing a storm of controversy after a secret recording of the party’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, mysteriously found its way online.
The leaked audio has prompted strong backlash within the party, with Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, the Deputy Director of Elections and IT, slamming the act as an intentional attempt to destroy party unity from the inside. He condemned the leak as a betrayal of trust and a violation of internal ethics, describing it as a deliberate plan to tarnish Gyamfi’s reputation.
According to Dr. Tanko-Computer, while internal disagreements are expected in any democratic structure, resorting to clandestine tactics like secretly recording a colleague is unacceptable and harmful to the party’s cohesion. He stressed that such acts not only undermine individual reputations but also threaten the NDC’s collective mission.
In response to the incident, the party has launched a formal investigation to trace the origin of the leaked audio and hold the responsible individuals accountable. Leadership is aiming to send a clear message that sabotage—especially from within—will not be tolerated.
This development comes at a critical time as the NDC gears up for a highly competitive political season. Political observers say the way the party handles the fallout could determine its internal stability and public credibility moving forward.
The scandal also reignites discussions about the role of digital tools in modern politics, and how secretly recorded conversations can become powerful weapons of disruption.
As the NDC works to contain the damage, all eyes are now on its leadership to see whether unity and accountability can be restored—or whether the internal cracks will continue to widen.
