The most powerful politician in NDC was Jerry John Rawlings.
Although the research revealed that the NPP has a more powerful person [Nana Boakye (Nana B)] in charge of the party’s youth wing than that of the NDC’s youth commander [George Opare Addo (Pablo)], it also revealed that the NDC youth wing comprised of more influential leaders (youth organizer and deputies combined) than that of the NPP.
