In the last 31 years, the leaders of the NPP and NDC have evolved from being grassroots activists and other supporters to being members of the elite inter-party organizational sphere, “playing the game of power in a peer group of other power wielders.”
The NDC and NPP suffer from the fallout from this growing organizational process and strife in this era of constitutional reform, as the recent changes in their leadership inside Parliament have made evident. The political party dictatorship has arisen in a way that is incompatible with the sovereignty of the people and the parliament, replacing the supremacy of the 1992 Constitution.
One sign of how things are going wrong is the two big political parties’ devastating authoritarianism.
When citizens fail to uphold democracy, the rule of law, accountability, transparency, and the fundamental freedoms and rights provided by the 1992 Constitution, then constitutions come to an end.
