“I urge you all to observe the protocols of masking up, sanitising and washing of hands and social-distancing”.

He added: “No matter where we find ourselves, l urge members to hold paramount the unity and well-being of the party in their deliberations”. “Our continued relevance in the affairs of the state depends on the cohesiveness of our party as a people of independent thought and free will”, Mr Kyerematen said.

“I pray that we come out of our conferences re-energised and united in our bid to ‘break the 8’ and keep Ghana on the path of ‘Development in Freedom’, in adherence to the motto of our great party”.
