In an interview with Accra-based Kasapa FM, Mr Boasiako-Sekyere urged the committee to be more visible.

The party in December 2016 outdoored a 13-member committee to investigate the party’s defeat to the New Patriotic Party in the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections.

The committee is chaired by former finance minister Professor Kwesi Botchwey.

Other members of the committee are Mr Edward Doe Adjaho, the immediate past Speaker of Parliament; Alhaji Hudu Yahaya, Naval Capt. Asaase Gyimah, Mr William Ahadzi, the Director of Research at the NDC headquarters; Mr Ibrahim Zuberu, a lecturer at the Accra Technical University and member of the NDC; Mr Razak Abu, a researcher at NDC’s Development Challenge; Mrs Juliana Azumah Mensah, a former MP for Agotime-Ziope; and Ms Barbara Serwah Asamoah, a former deputy minister.

The committee was also charged to recommend the way forward for the party.

"The committee is expected to "review and validate the results of the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections and find out the causes of the poor performance of the NDC in both the presidential and the parliamentary election, as well as to deal with other matter reasonably related to the above objectives and to make recommendations to the National Executive Committee about the way forward," according to the party's General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

The party has 90 days to complete its work and submit to the party a comprehensive report.
