Mr. Koku Anyidoho who is also a Deputy General Secretary speaking to Accra-based Starr FM said, the regional branch failed to seek approval of their decision from the national executives of the party adding that the two are still members of the party.

"What they did is constitutional but it has not been ratified by national. They are still parliamentary aspirants and they are still party members.

"The Greater Accra office, you could say, shot themselves in the foot by not waiting for ratification of the decision by the national office," he added.
