The National Democratic Congress is investigating the circumstances under which some unauthorized persons picked application forms for the chairmanship of the party for Professor Kwesi Botchwey.
It was widely reported that Prof. Botchwey would contest for the position of National Chairman in the NDC, but a statement from his office quickly rubbished the reports.
According to the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, the two persons who misrepresented Professors Botchwey are known, and the party is getting to the root of the occurrence.
“Professor Botchwey has complained to me, and so he tried to reach the two persons, we are yet to get to him to find out how he did it, so until we can get to the bottom of the issue, we are unable to commerce further operation,” he said.
