“Accordingly the National Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party has invited some members for a meeting early next week, to assist the Body iron out whatever rough edges that might have arisen, in the run up to the Party’s national elections,” the statement said.
The NCE assured party members that it takes decorum within the Party seriously, “and will do everything within its power, as mandated by the Party’s constitution, to protect the unity and integrity of the Party.”
