The 31-page road map has what the parties needed to do in the short, medium and long term to eradicate political vigilantism from Ghana’s political dispensation.
Anthony Nukpenu, speaking on the development said he backs the NDC's decision not to sign the code of conduct to check political vigilantism.
"I fully support my party decision not to sign the vigilante bill, the grassroots of NDC will revolt against Asiedu Nketia if he had signed the Vigilante Bill proposed by the National Peace Council," he said on Accra-based Kingdom FM.
"The National Peace Council itself are hypocrites, they always take decisions to favor NDC," he added.

Moreover, a member of the NDC team, Alex Segbefia, said he was not qualified to sign the document and further argued that the signing of the document was premature since it could be improved.
