According to them, there were needless personal attacks and public injury to the hard-won reputations which should not have happened.

He said this has the potential to affect the party going into the 2024 elections.

“While this elections needlessly witnessed the worse form of inner vilification, personal attacks and public injury to the hard-won reputation of our Party through various means of public spaces and on social media platforms, this insensitivity would inadvertently affect our restitution, unity and cohesion needed to engender the collective prosecution of our agenda for victory 2024.”

Meanwhile, Mr Ofosu Ampofo has asked the leadership to help the party heal quickly from it and move forward.

“Let us appreciate that this victory is simply a prelude to the battle ahead of us.
