He further added the government of the NPP wants a peaceful atmosphere and hence frowns on any move that can jeopardize the security of the state.

“We have also seen the injunction filed by Dr. Duffuor, we are urging the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to have a critical look at it. As a government, we are more committed towards having a peaceful atmosphere in the country, and we will not let people take the laws into their hands. We want successful primaries, we don’t want any tension, hooliganism or any form of activities the Constitution frowns on. At the end of the day, we want them to have credible primaries,” the General Secretary of the NPP stated.
