For instance, the work being done by the Greater Accra Regional Minister is good but it will affect party support on the ground. So, you have to find a way of balancing it so that the country will move forward and the party members will also understand," he said.

John Boadu explained further that in the implementation of policies, a balance must strike between the policy and its implementations.

"Obviously, it will affect people party people. The traders who are being sacked and the trotro drivers who are being told not to park at a particular place, all of this will affect the party so there must be a balance. There can be a policy that is very good but its implementation could affect the party people so you always have to balance it," he added.
