He recalled how he dedicated himself to serving the party when he was just a member of parliament, earning him the name ‘General Mosquito’ adding that his dedication to the party made it easy for him to become General Secretary when he contested for the position years later.

“You don’t need to hold an office in the NDC to play your role as a true party member. Those who contested and could not make it, it tells you that party has indicated that this time is not your time to lead but it is still your time to serve so do well and distinguish yourself so that next time the party will find you worthy to lead in whatever capacity you seek office,” he said.

He also warned the new leadership not to introduce anything that seeks to “soil our democratic process as a country or our law-abiding nature as the National Democratic Congress” in the name of the party.

General Mosquito was in Bole to help resolve issues that was obstructing the election in the constituency.

Upon deliberations, however, it was revealed that the case had been struck out of court.

Another group called "Our Men” also went to the EC office in Bole to stop ‘The Hawks’ from heckling the officials resulting in some confusion but the leadership of the party led by Asiedu Nketia swiftly came in to cool tempers after which there was a smooth election.
