Joy News had reported a press conference organised by the NDC in which Dr Spio Garbrah attacked the New Patriotic Party as a tribal party.
He said:“The [NDC] is a party that has had Presidents from the Volta, Central and Northern Regions [but] this is not the case in the NPP."
"The party [NDC] is nationally based but there are some parties which have declared that their leader should not come outside the five Akan regions."
NPP Deputy General Secretary Nana Obiri-Boahen described the comments as "unacceptable and historically incorrect."
