Abraham Amaliba, a member of the legal team of the National Democratic Congress has asked suspended chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Paul Afoko to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for victory in the December polls.
Mr Afoko has been in court challenging a suspension handed down to him by the NPP’s Disciplinary Committee for alleged misconduct.
The suspended Chair had earlier described his suspension as unconstitutional and a breach of natural justice.
But the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court on Monday, August 15, 2016, dismissed the suit.

According to the judgment of the presiding judge, Justice Anthony Yeboah, the suspension of Mr. Afoko was just, lawful and fair.
He further added that the procedure used for the suspension was right and was not breached in any way by the NPP.
Responding to the dismissal of the suit against the NPP on Multi TV’s Newsfile on Saturday August 20, Mr Amaliba said Afoko “should defect to the NDC.”
Amaliba believed the suspended NPP Chair "is not liked in the NPP. A lot of things were said about him before he became the national chairman of the NPP.”

Meanwhile, Afoko had earlier said that even though he respected the decision handed down by the court, he disagreed with it.
He said he will launch an appeal against the decision at the appropriate time.
