Lately,the party has been beset with conflicts following a disruption of a press conference by the National Chairman, Paul Afoko and the General Secretary of the party, Kwabena Agyapong, when some unidentified machete wielding men trooped the party headquarters .

The situation evoked series of accusations and counter accusations that seemed to eclipse the party’s vision of  uniting its members for the upcoming delegates congress.

Addressing these pertinent issues confronting the party, 2012 flagbearer of the party, Nana Akufo-Addo has called feuding factions within the party to settle their differences amicably in order to wrestle power during the 2016 General Elections.

 “We can’t win if we cut each other into pieces. It’s not possible”, he implored.
