Correspondence from Upper East:
Tangoba Abayage, the Upper East Regional Minister, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Navrongo Central Constituency to let peace and calm return to the party.
The Regional Minister particularly called on members of two factions within the party, who have since the party’s defeat in the election engaged in a war of press conferences, to cease going further.
Ms. Abayage is worried the party would have dim prospects in the future if members of the party continue to toe that lane.
