The MPs affected by the ruling are the NDC’s Peter Yaw Kwakye Ackah of Amenfi Central constituency, Andrew Amoakoh Asiamah of Fomena, Kojo Asante, NPP MP for Suhum in the Eastern Region, and NPP’s Cynthia Morrison of Agona West constituency.
At this point, it appears that it’s the NDC that must rather use the slogan, ‘it is possible’..because eeiii, the battle is the Lord’s ampa! pic.twitter.com/aK4w4XR6Gn
