Speaking in an interview, John Boadu said, the National Executive Committee is the only body that can decide on the fate of the Member of Parliament.
“He still insists that he is a party member but by his actions, he forfeited his membership. He can reapply, he can decide to join us. It is not a decision that can be taken by another body on the National Executive Committee. It is early days yet but if he clearly shows up to join the party, we will take him through the process and see what can be done about itâ€, he explained.
