In an interview with Okay FM on March 28, 2023, Baba Jamal advised party supporters not to be discouraged by the actions of the few members of parliament who defied the party orders and instead to look up to those who supported them.

“What I’m telling the grassroots is that, they should not be discouraged, but rather look upon those who stood behind the party and to work hard for the NDC, because investigations are ongoing and the culprits won’t be forgiven,” he added.

The outcome of the voting process has led to accusations of treachery being made against the minority MPs.

Some members of the caucus have since taken to social media to express their disappointment with the result while others have sought to claim their innocence.
