A former leading member of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Charles Wereko Brobbey has said the party's decision to suspend its chairman, Paul Afoko will not augur well for the prospects of the party in the upcoming 2016 elections.
According to him, the timing for the decision is unfortunate considering the presidential candidate of the party, Nana Addo is out of town.
"I don't think the actions of the party of the NPP is helping the party at all. It is rather unfortunate. The NPP should be focused on one thing alone, and that is to win power", he told Accra-based Citi Fm.

"I am considering the views of the middle Ghanaian who is not addicted to any party and how they will see it. They will see it as a very tragic day for Ghana where the choice that they have is between chaos and incompetence," Mr. Wereko Brobbey added.
