In spite of these controversies, many political members belonging to the NPP have had their opinion heard over these issues while some members calls for calmness amongst it membership and supporters.

As at now Ghanaians are waiting patiently for the results of their internal elections to elect a flag bearer who will lead the party to ascertain these claims.
