An opposition NDC MP and an NDC National executive have shared contradictory views on a letter from their rival political party, the\u00a0New Patritic Party (NPP)\u00a0inviting the opposition party to a meeting to end the menace of party militias.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Deputy NDC General Secretary, Peter Boamah Otokunor,\u00a0believes the letter smacks of bad faith, MP for Odododiodoo, Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuije,\u00a0says the letter was written in good faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

The NPP wrote to the NDC on Monday in fulfilment of a directive from President Nana Akufo-Addo while delivering his state of the Nation Address in February.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the President, the two parties have dominated the political space since the fourth republic began in 1992 and should be able to dialogue on disbanding the groups who perpetrate the violence since the groups are affiliated to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on Joy FM\u2019s midday news on Tuesday, Peter Otokunor said the NPP\u2019s letter to the NDC did not show the needed commitment to the dialogue on disbanding party militias.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said if the NPP was committed, their letter would have stated time and venue for the meeting instead of leaving it to the discretion of the NDC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Otokunor also accused the NPP of failing to concede to the NDC\u2019s initial demand of a third party mediating the meeting of the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
