The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia says they have put on hold the primaries of some selected constituencies.
According to him, until issues in those constituencies are resolved their elections will remain suspended.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that unlike the NPP who are organizing the orphan constituencies before the general ones, theirs will be determined by what their research officers on the ground will tell them.
He maintained it does not matter whether the MP is incumbent or not they will put on hold if they believe the ground is still not fertile for the elections.
