Political Parties Must Cease This Needless Boycott Of National Events

A member of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Mr. Eric Ametor Quarmyne says the culture where political parties boycott national events should be a thing of the past. He called on both the ruling National Democratic Congress and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to desist from such behaviour. Mr. Ametor Quarmyne expressed his distaste over such conduct by political figures in the country, saying it has a negative toll on the progress of the nation. According to him, both the NPP and NDC which have since been noted for boycotting certain government functions apparently make a U-turn to harness the policies they once opposed. Speaking on U TV's "Adekye Nsroma", he further slammed the opposition party for boycotting the National Economic Forum because to him, the forum brings together several Ghanaians to deliberate on national issues.
