Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh has reported in a separate story that NDC MP for Korle Klottey Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings said the outcome of a secret ballot on Friday, March 24, 2023, that approved six Akufo-Addo ministers shows the party is heading towards disaster.

Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings asked the party to use the outcome of the vote in Parliament last Friday as an opportunity to fix cracks in the party and forge a united front.
