The dialogue on ending the unlawful activities of political vigilantism between the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress resumes today, Monday.<\/p>\n

At their last meeting, the two parties agreed to commence the discussion with key stakeholders and experts, including representatives of civil society organizations, security agencies, and religious bodies.<\/p>\n

The meeting, which is at the instance of President Nana AddoDankwa Akufo-Addo, is being mediated by the National Peace Council.<\/p>\n

President Nana Akufo-Addo during his 2019 State of the Nation Address called on the leadership of the two leading political parties to meet and find a lasting solution to political vigilantism in the country.<\/p>\n

The first meeting on the matter generated a lot of controversy with the parties accusing each other of bad faith.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)\u00a0Asiedu Nketia<\/strong>\u00a0expressed disappointment in the outcome of the first meeting.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0Eyewitness News<\/strong>\u00a0after the meeting earlier in April, Asiedu Nketia said his expectations were not met because the NPP and NDC could not agree on the scope of discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally the summary of my impression is that I was disappointed about the outcome of the meeting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),\u00a0Yaw Buabeng Asamoah,\u00a0<\/strong>on the other hand, threatened a halt in the ongoing discussions saying the General Secretary of the NDC was acting in bad faith.<\/p>\n
