Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho earlier today on Starr FM said although the party is ready for a challenge in its presidential primaries, anyone who acquires a form must go through the right procedure.
“Whoever gave him the form did not go through the right procedure and so there might have been some lapse somewhere but if he doesn’t have the seal that he should have then it means he doesn’t have what he should have legitimately. As I speak to you now I know some administrative decisions have been taken and two of our administrative personnel who did not actually follow our laid down procedure are currently having questions to answer,” Anyidoho said on Morning Starr.
“It is the general secretary who sells the presidential forms and so if they are being punished, they are being punished because they did not follow laid down procedure,” he added.
