According to a statement signed by the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho indicated that the decision to extend the deadline was influenced by the increased outcry from party members.
“It has come to light that there is a need to extend the process so national has responded to the call from the base of the party so we have extended the finish date from the 23 to the 30 August,” he said.
Mr. Anyidoho added that the process has so far been successful.
“It is going on well, last week we sent teams from the national level to all the ten regions so as I speak, we have ourselves spread out all over the regions,” he said.
