The Eastern Regional branch of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not lead a delegation to Okyenhene’s palace to beg on behalf of their colleague, Kwame Zu, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC.
Regional Secretary, Cudjoe Adukpo said they have not taken any such decision following the three-day ultimatum given them to apologise.

He could not fathom why they would be blamed for the unfortunate conduct of a party member in another region.
“Okyenhene is one of the chiefs the NDC respects in this country but we think Kwame Zu has done the honourable thing. I think he should be forgiven,” the NDC Eastern Regional Secretary said.
