He cautioned that the existing method might create a perilous example, asserting, “If they remove Frimpong-Boateng, they may soon dismiss numerous others with comparable opinions.”
He also stressed that the NPP ought to have mobilised the grassroots, corrected previous errors, and reorganised the party framework prior to choosing its leaders.
