The Head of Communications of the New Patriotic Party Nana Akomea says the party is distressed by the current internal wranglings.

"The party members understandably will feel terrible about these developments. Nobody is happy. I am not happy. The flagbearer is not happy. He is extremely distressed. The party chairman is distressed. Everybody is distressed," Akomea confessed on Joy FM's Top Story with sit-in host Francis Abban, Friday.

His confession follows reports of an attempted attack on the party chairman Paul Afoko and General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong by disgruntled party youth in the Upper East Region, Thursday night.

The angry youth are accusing the two of campaigning against aspiring Members of Parliament believed to be supporting the party's flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo.

The youth were reported to have scuttled a planned meeting between the two national executives and regional executives of the party.

The Regional chairman of the party, Adams Mahama, accused the two National executives of failing to inform him before coming to the region.

He said Afoko and Agyapong cannot come to the region for a meeting with regional executives of the party, when the Regional chairman himself is not aware.

He denied reports the youth assaulted or tried to assault the two executives.

Adams Mahama claimed the youth only protested against the seeming lack of unity in the party and urged the two national executives to work with the other executives.

The Upper East police have meanwhile begun investigations into the assault report made against the youth by the two executives.

The New Patriotic Party has also begun its own internal investigations to unravel the circumstances under which the two national executives went to Upper East Region, why they went there and what happened over there.

Nana Akomea is banking his hopes on the outcome of the investigation to fix the internal wrangling within the party.

Akomea admitted there is no proper working relationship even at the national level and that has transcended to the regional level.  

"I cannot excuse what is happening in the NPP," he stated but added " the party will work to put everything right."

"Our major opponents suffered cracks which left people to resign to form rival parties but got themselves in shape to win elections," he pointed out, adding the NPP will do far better.
