He stressed the need for the constituency executives of the party to stay away from the electioneering campaigns of the candidates in order not to create any divisions and differences among the party members in the communities.

Mr Baffoe announced that a date would be fixed for the conduct of primaries when nominations closed by July.

Mr Boateng urged them to be law abiding and respect people in authority as any negative practice and attitude among them would affect the NDC.

The three candidates agreed to comport themselves and remain united during their campaigns to solicit for votes. 15 July 07
