National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has expressed gratitude to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for deciding not to contest the upcoming Tamale Central by-election.
Speaking at the Adua funeral rite for the late Member of Parliament, Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, on Tuesday, August 12, Asiedu Nketia urged NDC members to avoid internal wrangling over who should replace the deceased legislator. "We thank our brothers in the NPP for declaring that they will not contest us in Tamale Central.
Now the challenge is ours, whether we will fight among ourselves over who should replace Murtala.
On behalf of the party, I want to say, let us not rush in choosing his successor," he cautioned.
