President John Mahama has once again mocked the opposition New Patriotic Party following its current power struggle over the suspension of National Chairman, Paul Afoko.
Addressing a political gathering of National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters in the Volta Region, President Mahama said he is confused as to who is the chairman of the largest opposition party now.

Paul Afoko has insisted that he is still the party chairman, as he will head to court to seek redress over his suspension.
The first vice chairman of the party, Freddie Blay has also indicated that he is enjoying his new position of Acting National Chairman.
“On the day that opana [Freddie Blay] was doing his press conference to respond to me, somebody too was doing a press conference accusing him and saying he is going to court,” Mahama stated.“This man said I’m acting chairman of the party and this one said I’m chairman of the party so I thought opana will rather pay attention to the competence of uniting his party than addressing press conferences at me. So one mark of competence in leadership is to manage people.Right now I don’t even know who to address. So who is the chairman?” the president asked.

He has therefore called on supporters of the NDC to maintain the peace and unity ahead of Saturday’s primaries.
