Supporters of the Klottey Korle NDC on Wednesday boycotted a planned meeting with the Vice President Mr. Kwesi Amissah Arthur and the Greater Accra Regional executives of the party.

But, many of the party supporters failed to turn up at the said meeting due to the party's decision to allow Dr Zanetor Rawlings to contest in last November’s NDC parliamentary primaries even though they argue she was unqualified.

The incumbent MP, Nii Armah Ashietey, is in court because according to him, Zanetor is not a registered voter and thus her election must be declared null and void.

Party members who trooped to the venue of the meeting demanded that all of Zanetor's branded materials at the meeting premises be taken off.

They subsequently boycotted the meeting, amidst shouts, compelling the Vice President, to reschedule the said meeting.

Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Regional executives of the party have called for calm until the court case is determined.
