President John Agyekum Kufuor yesterday held a three-hour meeting with the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Mr. Alan Kyerematen, runner-up in the flagbearership race.

The latter’s recent resignation from the ruling party, which received massive media coverage, was copiously discussed during the marathon session.

The meeting ended with a decision to empanel a committee to probe the allegations made by Mr. Kyerematen, with a view to reconciling the feuding stakeholders in the party, according to a release signed by Ambassador D.K. Osei, Secretary to the President.

President Kufuor, in his maiden public reaction to the resignation, appealed to party members and the public to desist from acts or statements likely to as he put it, “inflame passions”.

A dinner in which the trio partook pointed at a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
