Hey, peacefmonline, where did you get this information from? The NPP has 174 constituencies with representation in parliament? Why is the NPP then struggling when it comes to voting in parliament? 174 out of 275. Hahahaaaa
Just don’t write anything you can’t substantiate. What proof do you have that Ocquaye junior is corrupt. Because of press freedom anybody can tarnish people’s reputation.
Dome Kwabenya is unlucky to have 2 immatured NPP contestants ine Adwoa Sarfo and Mike Ocquaye Jnr. Mike is a very stupud guy and very corrupt
