Suspended Chairman Afoko Calls NPP’s Bluff, Represents Party At EC Forum

Suspended New Patriotic Party (NPP) national chairman Paul Afoko has made a shocking appearance at the Electoral Commission hearing for a new voters’ register.
It is not clear in what capacity the embattled chairman is appearing, but having rubbished the suspension by the National Executive Committee (NEC), Afoko is likely to announce himself as the substantive leader of the Elephant family.
Media report indicates that security is heavy at the venue and a metal detector is also being used to ensure paramount security.”
