The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has released the timetable for its internal elections approved by the National Executive Committee of (NEC) of the party.
All newly created Branches shall have a new Branch Executive; only members of a branch who registered by 2018 can contest; All members with their names on the branch register can vote, a notice issued on Tuesday, May 10 said.
