Minister for Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress John Mahama's call for his party supporters to jubilate is irresponsible.
Speaking from the campaign headquarters of the party Mr Mahama said the NDC was having majority of seats in parliament and that means they are on course to win the presidential elections too.
He then urged his supporters to jubilate because victory was within sight.

This Oppong Nkrumah addressing a press conference says is highly irresponsible on his path.
"Mahama says the NDC has won majority in parliament and he has also called on his supporters to jubilate and we clearly understand that is a dog whistle. Mahama has also undermined the work of the Electoral Commission. We are happy Mahama's call for supporters to jubilate has not been largely adhered to but we think it is highly irresponsible and goes to the peace pact he signed prior to the election".
