The vociferous law maker said the opposition party has many priorities like choosing a running mate for John Mahama for the 2020 general elections.

According to him, with barely 10 months into the general elections, the National Democratic Congress has practically refused to outdoor the party's running mate, but found time to engage in propaganda over the global epidemic.

"In other countries, both the opposition and the ruling government have come together to fight the virus, but here we are in this country doing the usual politicking.
