The 'Controversial' Letter From NPP Paul Afoko To EC (READ)

National Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Paul Afoko, in a letter dated May 27, 2015, asked the Electoral Commission (EC) to ignore any letter which is not signed by the party's General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.

According to reports, this letter was to stamp their (Paul Afoko, Kwabena Agyepong) authority on the National Executive Committee and also to ensure that nobody does anything without their knowledge.

The letter was also to nullify an earlier one allegedly written by the party's National Organiser, John Boadu concerning their upcoming polls.

However, in an interview on Okay FM, John Boadu stridently denied writing any letter to the EC.

In all operational matters, as in this particular instance, the General Secretary (Mr Kwabena Agyei Agyepong) is the recognized and designated signatory.
