Mr. Kenedy Agyapong said Wontumi and other Chairmen who supported the Executives openly should have resigned from their positions because they have been embarrassed.

“Wontumi should cool down, he should cool down because he doesn’t own this political party. Yes because of the way he was behaving and whipping all Chairmen to raise their hands reluctantly. All of them have been embarrassed if it were somewhere all the Chairmen would have resigned." He said.

He added that because leaders in the party openly support others that is why there is no unity in the party.
