Founder and President of the MILLS Institute, Koku Anyidoho, has reaffirmed that he remains a recognised member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), insisting that he has neither been suspended nor formally expelled from the party.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV, Mr Anyidoho dismissed claims suggesting otherwise, stating that there is no official documentation to support assertions that he had been suspended.
“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,” he said.
Mr Anyidoho further disclosed that he continues to interact freely within political and state circles, citing a recent visit to the Flagstaff House as part of his work with the Christian Council.
“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 stated.
He also emphasised his willingness to maintain cordial relationships across political divides, noting that he associates with both members of the ruling NDC and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, political differences should not prevent personal relationships and dialogue.
“On the same ticket, we went to Dr Bawumia’s Thanksgiving service, which they want to do propaganda with,” he said, referring to Mahamudu Bawumia.
“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,” he added.
Mr Anyidoho previously served as Director of Communications and later Deputy General Secretary of the NDC. He was also a close aide to the late former President John Evans Atta Mills.
In recent years, some political observers have suggested that he had become sidelined within the party following the death of President Mills. However, Mr Anyidoho rejected that perception, maintaining that he remains on good terms with the NDC and continues to support its broader ideals.
