At the signing of the peace pact ceremony, they sat in the order they appeared on the ballot paper.

“If I hadn’t been strategically placed between presidential aspirant number one [on the ballot], and aspirant number three, it could have been a disaster at the peace pact signing.”
"I had to tap number one to smile a bit since we were all present to agree to peace. Just when number one started to smile a bit, number three also got angered."

Discipline will be restored in NPP

Dr Bryan Acheampong promised the delegates he was addressing that discipline would be restored in the NPP immediately after the presidential primary ends.
