The 2020 flag-bearer for the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) Dr. Henry Larty has appealed to former President John Mahama to concede defeat and ignore going to court to challenge the 2020 polls.
Dr. Lartey who doubles as the Secretary-General for the West African Association of Political Parties said “Mahama is been pushed to do what he is doing, I have no idea of who is behind this; he wouldn’t want to do this at all.
