Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed that former Deputy General Secretary of the party, Koku Anyidoho, is now a consultant for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Mustapha Gbande, Koku Anyidoho is no longer a member of the NDC as he does not have membership.
He disclosed that Koku Anyidoho ceased to be a member of the party because he no longer holds membership.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Thursday, July 16, 2026, Mustapha Gbande stated, “He is not. When you don’t have membership, you are not a member of the party”.
Mustapha Gbande alleged that Anyidoho is now a consultant to the New Patriotic Party’s 2024 presidential candidate, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“He is a consultant for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. He is the spiritual consultant for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia,” Gbande claimed.
When pushed to provide evidence to support the allegation, Gbande maintained that he knew it to be true but however failed to provide any proof.
He further questioned Anyidoho’s comments on the NDC’s internal elections, saying, “Who gave him that authority? When you are no longer a member of the party, you cannot determine how the party conducts its elections”.
Meanwhile, Koku Anyidoho had earlier claimed that he remains a bona fide member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Anyidoho clarified that he continues to identify with the NDC and maintains cordial relations within its ranks.
In an interview with Channel One TV, he stated, “Contrary to some opinions, I am still in the NDC; I have a membership card. Somebody said so (that I was suspended) without any documentary evidence. That is politics”.
“People don’t even know that last year I went to the Flagstaff House. Because I am working with the Christian Council, and we had to go to the Flagstaff House, and nobody stopped me from entering”.
He further disclosed that he maintains friendships with senior figures in both the NDC and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“On the same ticket, we went to Dr Bawumia (NPP’S 2028 flagbearer), Thanksgiving service, which they want to do propaganda with,” he noted.
“I will associate with everybody, I will associate with Dr Bawumia, I will associate with Nana Addo, I will associate with Gabby Otchere Darko and anybody who gives me the door, I will associate.”
In related news, Samuel Koku Anyidoho, some months ago fired shots at veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr., describing him as a ‘BIG liability’ to the John Mahama administration.
According to Koku Anyidoho, Kwesi Pratt is a “Hypocrite and parasite” and the biggest existential threat to the survival of the NDC.
In a post shared on X, Koku Anyidoho wrote, “Kwesi Pratt’s daughter is one of the JM appointees making nonsense of the ‘Reset Agenda’ because she just talks rubbish. Kwesi Pratt himself is a BIG liability to this JM Administration because of his gross hypocrisy”.
“Who is Kwesi Pratt blaming? He should blame himself first. Is he not the one who thinks he has hijacked the NDC for his personal parochial gain? Is he not the one messing up our Foreign Policy with his surrogate?
He is the biggest existential threat to our survival as NDC. Kwesi Pratt: Go and rebuild your CPP and leave us alone to rebuild our NDC – you have never been NDC, so just leave us alone. Hypocrite and parasite. We shall flush him out of the NDC very soon,” he said.
