Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, a New Patriotic Party’s National Council of Elders member, has urged the party to heed the lessons from the recent Ejisu By-election as they gear up for the pivotal December 7 general elections.

National Chairman Stephen Ayensu Ntim’s discontent with the results underscores the urgency for reconciliation within the party.
