Weighing into the EC chairman’s situation on TV3’s New Day, Mr. Atta Mensah called on the New Patriotic Party to “show a deliberate point of condemning” Mr. Agyapong.
“We have to shame the man,” he insisted, “some people think it will favour them, but such statements do not favour anybody.”
He warned the party that if they fail to rein him in, it would get to a stage that it would be “almost impossible” for the NPP to control him especially when they come to power.
His outburst “should not be encouraged”, he reiterated, “we expect that Ghanaians will condemn this man” if he indeed uttered those “irresponsible” words.
