The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of having double standards.
Addressing a press conference Wednesday in Accra, the General Secretary of the NDC accused the NPP of publicly dissociating themselves from decisions they contribute to in private.
"We have observed that the NPP will first participate actively in all engagements to seek consensus together with all other parties and stakeholders, commit their authorised signatures to all the agreements reached and yet come out publicly not only to dissociate themselves from but actually attack these decisions and putting the blame on other innocent stakeholders, " Asiedu Nketiah said.

These comments come on the back of the NPP's decision to kick against the electronic transmission of the results of the Presidential elections.
Even though the EC had responded earlier and accused the NPP of malice, Nketiah revealed that it was actually the NPP that proposed the idea of E-transmission of results.
"What the EC did not disclose is that the whole idea of e-transmission of results was a proposal from none other than the NPP which was exhaustively debated and accepted by the committee before approval by IPAC and finally accepted by the Electoral Commission."

According to Asiedu Nketiah, the NPP in a proposal presented to the EC which was signed by the then Chairman of the party, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey said: "the Commission may adopt the use of satellite transmission of results to the National Tallying Center pending the receipt of pink sheets from the regions."
Asiedu Nketiah also quizzed Mac Manu’s claim that he wasn’t satisfied with answers he got to his questions.
“When we issued the communique, it was signed by everybody. Where were the questions he claims were unanswered and why did he [Mac Manu] sign when his questions had not been answered?”
He encouraged the NPP to stick to their words instead of continuously going back on their words.
"We wish to tell the NPP that they should let their 'yes' be 'yes' and 'no' be 'no'. Ghanaians are getting impatient with their double standards."
